Workers' responses to job loss when employment opportunities are scarce / by René Morissette and Hanqing Qiu.: CS36-28-0001/2021-2-2E-PDF

"This Insights article examines the degree to which workers who lost their job in 2009 started a business, changed regions, went back to school or began a registered apprenticeship in 2010, the year following job loss. The analysis combines the 2001 Census of Population with Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Worker File and Registered Apprenticeship Information System. The study shows that about one in six displaced workers used at least one of the aforementioned adjustment strategies in 2010. Displaced workers who did not find a new paid job in 2010 were more likely to do so than their counterparts who found a new paid job that year. Yet three-quarters of the displaced workers who had no paid job in 2010 did not use any of the four strategies defined above"--Abstract, page 1.
