Barriers to labour mobility in Canada : survey-based evidence / by René Morissette, Social Analysis and Modelling Division.: CS11-626/2017-76E-PDF
“In 2016, the majority of unemployed individuals indicated that they would not move to another province or elsewhere in their province for a job offer. The study finds that the main reasons are the desire to stay close to family and friends, or to take care of relatives, or that the spouse or children would not want to move. The study highlights that social considerations as well as economic ones matter in Canadians’ decisions to relocate for employment. The data come from the 2016 General Social Survey and pertain to unemployed individuals aged 15 to 64 who are not students”--p. 1.
