RDC researchers at the forefront of Canadian public policy debates

Two-thirds of the articles in September's issue of Canada's well-reputed policy research journal Canadian Public Policy are based on studies by regular RDC users:

  • Kevin Milligan and Tammy Schirle (BCIRDC) examine the incentives to retirement inherent in Canada's public pension system, and discuss policy reforms that could encourage elderly workers to remain in employment longer (pp. 281-304)
  • David Zarifa and David Walters (UWORDC) revisit the question of Canada's brain drain with the aid of Statistics Canada's National Graduates Survey (pp. 305-320). Click here for a summary of their findings
  • Saul Schwartz and Jeffrey Zabel (COOLRDC) assess the employment impacts of active labour market policy using data from a fascinating social experiment soon to be available in the RDCs (pp. 321-344)
  • Peter Burton, Lynn N. Lethbridge, and Shelley Phipps (Atlantic RDC) explore the long-term health implications of mothering children with disabilities and chronic conditions with data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (pp. 359-378)
