Established in 1940 in response to the Great Depression, the original goal of Canada’s system of unemployment insurance was to ensure the protection of income to the unemployed. Joblessness was viewed as a social problem and the jobless as its unfortunate victims. If governments could not create the right conditions for full employment, they were obligated to compensate people who could not find work. While unemployment insurance expanded over several decades to the benefit of the rights of the unemployed, the mid-1970s saw the first stirrings of a counterattack as the federal government’s Keynesian strategy came under siege. Neo-liberalists denounced unemployment insurance and other aspects of the welfare state as inflationary and unproductive. Employment was increasingly thought to be a personal responsibility and the handling of the unemployed was to reflect a free-market approach. This regressive movement culminated in the 1990s counter-reforms, heralding a major policy shift. The number of unemployed with access to benefits was halved during that time. From UI to EI examines the history of Canada’s unemployment insurance system and the rights it grants to the unemployed. The development of the system, its legislation, and related jurisprudence are viewed through a historical perspective that accounts for the social, political, and economic context. Campeau critically examines the system with emphasis upon its more recent transformations. This book will interest professors and students of law, political science, and social work, and anyone concerned about the right of the unemployed to adequate protection.

This research addresses some of the effects of the move from Unemployment Insurance (UI) to Employment Insurance (EI) on individuals' behaviour. The main questions are the extent to which the move from UI to EI caused a significant change in the durations that individuals remain unemployed and the durations that individuals spend in receipt of UI/EI benefits. Adopting a primarily quasi-experimental approach, the research assesses the effects of the UI to EI move as a whole, without attempting to disentangle the individual contributions of the various new legislative provisions. The methodology, which builds on job search analysis and uses duration-modelling of the determinants of the hazard out of unemployment or UI/EI benefit receipt, also has some more structural elements in the modelling of demographic & regional effects, and in the treatment of seasonality. The work uses the Canadian Out of Employment Panel dataset, linked to UI/EI administrative records, and exploits a straightforward before/after methodology using different cohorts of the Panel to identify overall effects of the move from UI to EI.

This study investigates the impact of the change from Unemployment Insurance (UI) to Employment Insurance (EI) on new & re-entrant (NERE) workers. The focus is on two aspects of the change which are particularly relevant to the NERE group: an increase in eligibility condition and a switch from a weeks-based system for determining eligibility in UI to an hours-based system in EI. The study first establishes the percentage of workers with job separations who are in the NERE group and the characteristics of NERE workers (age group, gender, marital & family status, province, education & income level, wage earned). It then examines the change in accessibility to benefits brought about by the switch from UI to EI. It is hypothesized that young workers seeking their first job and mothers returning to the labour market might constitute two important NERE categories, and the study investigates whether this is so and assesses the effects of the change for those two groups.

Since the inception and design of Canada's Employment Insurance (EI) program, the Canadian economy and labour market have undergone dramatic changes. It is clear that EI has not kept pace with those changes, and experts and advocates agree that the program is no longer effective or equitable. Making EI Work is the result of a panel of distinguished scholars gathered by the Mowat Centre Employment Insurance Task Force to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, and future directions of EI. The authors identify the strengths and weaknesses of the system, and consider how it could be improved to better and more fairly support those in need. They make suggestions for facilitating a more efficient Canadian labour market, and meeting the human capital requirements of a dynamic economy for the present and the foreseeable future. The chapters that comprise Making EI Work informed the task force's final recommendations, and form an engaging dialogue that makes the case for, and defines the parameters of, a reformed support system for Canada's unemployed.

Under the old Unemployment Insurance (UI) system, job leavers could only count jobs with more than 15 hours per week when determining eligibility & entitlements. This directly impacted multiple job holders since in most cases they had at least one job with fewer hours. Changes under Bill C-12 that changed UI to Employment Insurance (EI) directly affected those workers. In particular, the new hours system under EI allows multiple job holders to count the hours from all their sources of employment. This report seeks to examine the extent to which the EI reform is associated with changes in the eligibility & entitlements of multiple job holders, comparing data from pre- & post-EI reform periods from the Canadian Out of Employment Panel survey. The report first reviews the characteristics of multiple job holders (gender, age group, family type, education, region, industry of employment), then looks at the short- & long-run impacts of EI on the incentives for multiple job holding and the impacts on multiple job holding itself due to the changes in these incentives.

This paper proposes alternative formulation of the Social Assistance (SA) program in the standard labour-leisure model, a model that emphasises relative program incentives, primarily monetary, as an explanation for the relative incidence of Employment Insurance (EI) and SA use among the unemployed. The alternative model takes account of both SA eligibility criteria that limit access and barriers to mixing short-term work & SA. After a brief literature review, the paper suggests modifications to the standard labour-leisure model, then considers the aggregate incidence of EI & SA among the unemployed at one point in time using data from the EI Coverage Survey for 1999, including an assessment of the impact of household status. The next section looks at shifts in the distribution of unemployed by EI & SA incidence between 1987 & 1997 and evaluates the increase in SA incidence within groups using the Survey of Consumer Finances. A brief concluding section summarizes the main findings.

The objective of Risk Analysis in Theory and Practice is to present this analytical framework and to illustrate how it can be used in the investigation of economic decisions under risk. In a sense, the economics of risk is a difficult subject: it involves understanding human decisions in the absence of perfect information. How do we make decisions when we do not know some of events affecting us? The complexities of our uncertain world and of how humans obtain and process information make this difficult. In spite of these difficulties, much progress has been made. First, probability theory is the corner stone of risk assessment. This allows us to measure risk in a fashion that can be communicated among decision makers or researchers. Second, risk preferences are now better understood. This provides useful insights into the economic rationality of decision making under uncertainty. Third, over the last decades, good insights have been developed about the value of information. This helps better understand the role of information in human decision making and this book provides a systematic treatment of these issues in the context of both private and public decisions under uncertainty. Balanced treatment of conceptual models and applied analysis Considers both private and public decisions under uncertainty Website presents application exercises in Excel
