Consequences of Teen Parenthood for Teen Mothers and Fathers in Canada Canadian Studies in Population (IF 0.852) Pub Date : 2022-01-07 Laura Wright, Sarah Knudson, Matthew Johnson
Teen motherhood is associated with a variety of adverse consequences in prior literature, even after controlling for selection into teen motherhood. The experience of parenthood, however, is highly gendered, suggesting that the consequences of teenage parenthood might differ for teen mothers and teen fathers. This paper examines gender differences in the long-term human capital, health, and wellbeing

There is growing evidence that the risk and burden of COVID-19 infections are not equally distributed across population subgroups and that racialized communities are experiencing disproportionately higher morbidity and mortality rates. However, due to the absence of large-scale race-based data, it is impossible to measure the extent to which immigrant and racialized communities are experiencing the

In this paper, we compare estimates of population attraction and retention, or rather, internal migration, based on three datasets: the long-form Census of Canada, the Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD), and the Medicare Client Registry. We find that the administrative data sources (especially the LAD) produce much higher rates of internal migration than the Census, and that the Census and

Factors associated with men’s perpetration of physical violence against intimate partners in India Canadian Studies in Population (IF 0.852) Pub Date : 2021-09-07 Gautam, Abhishek, Singh, Kaushalendra Kumar, Singh, Brijesh Pratap, Verma, Ravi
Men’s perpetration of violence against their female partners is widely recognized as a serious social problem. Yet research on intimate partner violence (IPV) has been primarily focused on women’s exposure and not on men’s perpetration. This paper fills this gap and explores the intensity of and the factors associated with men’s perpetration of violence against their intimate partners. In 2013, a cross-sectional

“Show Me the Money”: The Returns to Education for Indigenous Canadians Canadian Studies in Population (IF 0.852) Pub Date : 2021-08-25 Goldmann, Gustave, Racine, Audrey
Research has shown a strong link between the acquisition of human capital and success in the labour market as measured through employment income. While this relationship has been demonstrated for the non-Indigenous population, it is not clear whether it necessarily holds true for the Indigenous peoples of Canada. This paper examines the returns to education (as a component of human capital) for the

Migration Between Indian Reserves and Off-Reserve Areas: an Exploratory Analysis Using Census Data Linkage Canadian Studies in Population (IF 0.852) Pub Date : 2021-05-07 Jean-Dominique Morency, Patrice Dion, Chantal Grondin
New data linkages between censuses show that migration flows between Indian reserves and off-reserve areas from 2006 to 2011 and from 2011 to 2016 resulted in negative net migration for Indian reserves, meaning that—overall—more people left Indian reserves than entered them. These results differ from the portrait shown by the retrospective information from the 2011 and 2016 censuses, which indicates positive

The Effect of Child’s Body Size at Birth on Infant and Child Mortality in India Canadian Studies in Population (IF 0.852) Pub Date : 2019-10-01 Bali Ram, Shefali S. Ram, Awdhesh Yadav
Low birth weight is one of the strongest predictors of infant mortality, especially in the neonatal period. In this paper, we use data from the 2015–2016 India’s National Family Health Survey to examine the effect of mother’s assessment of child’s body size at birth on four measures of mortality: infant mortality, neonatal mortality, post-neonatal mortality, and child mortality. Using the Cox proportional
