Employment Insurance Monitoring And Assessment Report PDF Download

This fourth of a series of Employment Insurance (EI) monitoring reports examines how individuals, communities, and the economy are continuing to adjust to the reforms introduced under the EI Act in 1996 and 1997. The focus of the analysis is on the third full fiscal year that the EI system was in place (April 1999-March 2000). Trends identified in the 1999 EI monitoring & assessment report are also discussed in light of the findings. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the Canadian labour market and a historical perspective on EI reform. Chapter 2-6 focus on results related to EI income benefits, employment benefits, support measures, community adjustment, program administration, and impacts of EI on individuals & communities. Annexes include discussion of elements of EI reform as well as statistical tables.
