Congrats & Kudos

Kudos to Gum-Ryeong Park, who has had a paper from her PhD work recently published. The paper, "How do housing asset and income relate to mortality? A population-based cohort study of 881220 older adults in Canada", was published in Social Science & Medicine and used data from 2011 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort (CanCHEC). You can read it HERE. 

Gum-Ryeong, along with fellow McMaster researcher Sawayra Owais, also were awarded Emerging Scholars Grants from the CRDCN.

Finally, Adam Lavecchia was recently celebrated for his receipt of the prestigious 2021 John Charles Polanyi prize for Economic Science, which was awarded earlier this year.

 

New data sets at the RDC: 

Ontario Ministry of Community, Children and Social Services (MCCSS) All Years data

New Ontario Ministry of Community, Children and Social Services (MCCSS) All Years data linked to CEN16, ROE, EISV, IMDB, CCR, VSDD, PSIS, RAIS, is now available in Research Data Centres across Canada. Statistics Canada and the Ontario MCCSS have made available a new longitudinal analytical file featuring information on Ontario Social Assistance program recipients and various annual income, tax and benefit data.
 
The available microdata contain de-identified client-level administrative information from the social assistance programs: Ontario Works (OW) and Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) for the period January 2003 to December 2019. The following tax-derived files are also available for the recipient population:

• T1 Family File subset (1998 to 2019)
• T4 Statement of Remuneration (1998 to 2019)
• T4E Statement of Employment Insurance and Other Benefits (1998 to 2019), and
• T5007 Statement of Benefits (1998 to 2019)

If required for approved analytical projects, subsequent linkage keys would allow mapping of the Ontario IA tax analytical file as described above to one other type of data source at a time among the following:

• Census: 2016 Census of Population Long form
• Employment: Record of Employment, Employment Insurance Status Vector
• Immigration: Longitudinal Immigration Database
• Health: Discharge Abstract Database, National Ambulatory Care Reporting System, Canadian Cancer Registry, Ontario Mental Health Reporting System Database, Vital Statistics – Death Database
• Education: Postsecondary Student Information System, Registered Apprenticeship Information System
