Survey of Job Opportunities, March 1986 [Canada]

The objective of the Survey of Job Opportunities is to identify \"discouraged seekers\" and profile their characteristics. More specifically, the survey's purpose is to collect information on persons who are currently not employed and have not been actively looking for work in the past four weeks. In may parts of Canada, potential workers have a detailed knowledge of the annual hiring patterns of employers, and employers rely on the participation patterns of the work force. In these situations there is little, if any, job search activity by potential workers and minimal recruitment activity by emploeyrs. Since potential employers know the approximate dates, much of the hiring activity takes place by direct contact between employee and emploeyr Since 1979 Statistics Canada has conducted an annual survey, sponsored by Employment and Immigration Canada, to consider and evaluate this theory. The survey is conducted in March of each year, and asks questions about job opportunities from the previous calendar year. The questionnaire has remained largely unchaged resulting in a wealth of data covering 14 years.

本就业机会调查旨在识别"气馁求职者"并剖析其特征。具体而言，本次调查的目标是收集当前未就业且在过去四周内未积极参与求职的人群相关信息。在加拿大的诸多地区，潜在劳动者对雇主的年度招聘规律拥有详尽认知，而雇主也依托劳动力的参与模式开展招聘工作。在此类场景下，潜在劳动者几乎不会开展求职活动，雇主的招聘行为也极为有限。由于潜在雇主已明确大致的招聘时段，大部分招聘活动均通过雇主与求职者的直接对接完成。自1979年起，加拿大统计局（Statistics Canada）便在加拿大就业与移民部（Employment and Immigration Canada）的资助下开展年度调查，以验证并评估这一理论假说。该调查于每年3月实施，问卷内容围绕上一历年的就业机会设置，且问卷主体框架基本未作调整，由此积累了覆盖14年的丰富调研数据。
