ABSTRACT
The Canadian labour market is currently emerging from a holding pattern with unusually high numbers of people in temporary (or "recall") unemployment, people who are "employed but absent from work" for unspecified reasons, or people who are not in the labour force while waiting to be recalled. Two encouraging signs are evident. New postings of vacancies have recovered from 50 percent to about 80 percent of their pre-crisis level. Also, data suggest that the increase in employment in May 2020 is due to the re-entry into employment of some of those waiting to be recalled. These patterns suggest that the labour market might rebound quickly. Warning signs are that the shares of unemployed persons without job attachment and of those on recall engaged in job search are beginning to increase.
Le marché du travail canadien émerge actuellement d'un scénario persistant de surcroît anormal de travailleurs en chômage temporaire (ou licenciés en rappel), ceux qui sont « employés mais absents du travail ¼ pour des raisons qui ne sont pas précisées ou ceux qui, dans l'attente d'un rappel, ne font pas partie de la population active. Deux signes encourageants apparaissent évidents. Les nouveaux affichages de postes à pourvoir se sont redressés, passant de 50 pour cent à environ 80 pour cent de leur niveau antérieur à la crise, et les données semblent en outre indiquer que la hausse de l'emploi en mai 2020 est attribuable au retour au travail de certains des travailleurs en attente de rappel. Ces éléments d'information laissent supposer que le marché du travail pourrait se rétablir rapidement. Les signaux d'alerte sont les suivants : les proportions de personnes au chômage qui n'ont pas de lien d'emploi et des personnes en attente de rappel qui sont à la recherche d'un emploi sont à la hausse.
ABSTRACT
Goltz syndrome is a rare, X-linked dominant congenital disorder with abnormalities in derivatives of each of the three embryonic germ layers. Its clinical phenotype varies widely, ranging from isolated skin defects to absence of limbs and/or organs. The rarity and wide range of presentation contribute to delayed or missed diagnosis.
ABSTRACT
Indices of cerebral development were computed for 23 different species in order to assess their capacity to accurately reflect differences in learning ability. The resulting correlations between index values and performance on a variety of tasks strongly suggest that this approach may offer the best type of continuum for the comparative study of learning. It was further suggested that if the index proposed by Jerison were expanded to reflect possible neuronal connections, a more powerful measure might be obtained.
