PATTERNS OF DURATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT

This study examines the durations of unemployment and employment for those in Canada who experience some unemployment between 1972 and 1979. This analysis was carried out using the UIC-ROE data base developed from the administrative records of the Unemployment Insurance Commission. This data base covers a time period sufficiently long to allow this analysis to be made with observed rather than estimated durations of employment/unemployment spells for the first time in Canada.
