- Abstract
This study provides an overview of inter-provincial and inter-industry labour mobility in Canada duringthe period 1994-2005. It illustrâtes the relative importance of thèse two types of mobility in the Canadian economy and spécifies a bivariate probit model to jointly examine inter-provincial and inter-industry mobility. Régulations significantly reduce both the probability of inter-industry mobility for regulated professions and the probability of inter-provincial migration for apprentice trades. Although récent immigrants hâve a greater inter-industry labour mobility rate, they are less likely to change industry or province when we control for skill mismatch. Régression results show that inter-provincial migration is relatively insensitive to increases in wages or after-tax family incomes, while wage differentials hâve a much larger effect on inter-industry mobility.
