Measuring the language-related characteristics of occupations using the Occupational and Skills Information System / by Louis Cornelissen.CS89-657/2024-4E-PDF

"This report explores the analytical potential of information on the language-related characteristics of occupations in the Occupational and Skills Information System (OaSIS), a database developed by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that provides a series of descriptors of occupations. The report aims to contextualize the use of language in different occupations by using a selection of descriptors related to work activities, work contexts and required skills. These descriptors include, for example, the level of communication with coworkers required by the occupation, the level of work done directly with the public, the frequency of written communications, or the level of literacy skills required. Occupational information from OaSIS is then used to shed new light on 2021 Census data, including regarding the use of languages at work"--Summary, page 4.
