Authors: Statistics Canada
Collection: Learning Materials
This workbook is part of an adult education kit prepared by Statistics Canada to help adult literacy and English as a Second Language (ESL) students become familiar with the census process.

The workbook contains several activities to help learners understand how and why the census is conducted. Activities include conducting a student census; determining who should be included on the census form; deciding the listing order for household members; identifying family relationships; and matching census terms with their definitions.

7. Access and Barriers to Educational Services for Canadian Children with Disabilities (2010)
Authors: Dafna Kohen, Sharanjit Uppal, Saeeda Khan, Laura Visentin
Collection: Research Materials
The authors of this study use data from the child component of the 2001 Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS) to analyze access to educational services for Canadian children with disabilities.
The first part of their analysis deals with national and provincial trends in an effort to determine if where a child lives makes a difference when it comes to access to educational services. The second part analyzes the effect of the type and complexity of disabilities on access to education.
The authors found that in Canada, the majority of children with disabilities attend regular school, with one quarter attending a regular school that offers special education classes and only a small minority attending special education schools.
There is much variability in provincial rates of school participation and it is unclear if these differences reflect provincial differences in policies, such as increased inclusion or an emphasis on mainstreaming children with disabilities, or whether it is a reflection of limited special education services available.
The authors found that the type of disability and its complexity are both important for access of school services. Children with physical disabilities only or chronic conditions only are more likely to attend regular classes and less likely to experience difficulties in accessing special education services, as compared to children who have a developmental, learning, or psychological disability.
The document was published by the Canadian Council on Learning (CCL) and Statistics Canada.

8. Adult Education Participation in North America: International Perspectives (2001)
Series: International Adult Literacy Survey
Authors: Albert Tuijnman, Emmanuel Boudard
Collection: Learning Materials
In this paper, the authors present 15 indicators of participation in adult education as part of their analysis of the results of the International Adult Literacy Survey, a 22-country initiative conducted between 1994 and 1998 to determine how well adults used printed information to function in society. The 15 indicators described here allow readers to compare the functioning of training markets in North America with those in of other advanced countries.
This document has three main chapters supplemented by five appendices and begins with a "Summary and Highlights" section.

9. Adult learning and the world of work (2008)
Education Matters: Insights on Education, Learning and Training in Canada, June 2008, Vol. 5, No. 2
Series: Education Matters - Statistics Canada
Collection: Learning Materials
In this article, published by Statistics Canada, the authors use data from the 1994 International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS) and the 2003 Adult Literacy and Life Skills (ALL) survey to get a picture of employer-sponsored training, and the characteristics of employees who engage in that training. The analysis offers an international perspective, with the situation in Canada being compared to that of Norway, Switzerland, and the United States.
The analysis shows that adult participation in organized forms of learning is reasonably high in Canada, though it falls short of the levels found in the other three countries. The great majority of adults surveyed reported job-related reasons for enrolling in courses and programs in 2002.
About half of those who did take part in training programs reported that their employers had sponsored the training. By extension, this means that half of the adults enrolled in training programs did that training on their own, without financial support from their employers, suggesting that many Canadian adults recognize the need for, and are active participants in, education and learning during their working lives.
The authors also note that employer support for training favours highly skilled workers in jobs with high skill requirements. That raises the question of how best to create education and training opportunities for those in need of skills upgrading.
