description: The Canadian Out-of-Employment Panel Survey was conducted by Statistics Canada for Human Resources Development Canada, Strategic Evaluation and Monitoring. This survey interviewed people who had a job interruption during one of the two reference periods: (1) Jan. 29-Mar. 11, 1995; or (2) Apr. 23-June 3, 1995.&lt;p&gt;The survey gathered information on subsequent employment during a 13-month period, background demographics on the individual and the household, as well as information on job search activities and outcomes, income, assets and debts, expenditures, and training.&lt;p&gt;In 1996, the COEP survey was re-designed as the Changes in Employment Survey, referred to as COEP 1996. The re-designed survey had changes in the sample design and content to allow a more complete picture of the population of individuals experiencing a loss or change of employment. &lt;p&gt;The survey collects information on employment history during an 18-month period, background demographics on the individual and the household, as well as information on job search activities and outcomes, income, assets and debts, expenditures, and training.The main changes to the sample design compared to COEP 1995 are as follows: all individuals who are issued an ROE in the reference period are included in the 1996 design whereas under the 1995 design, only individuals whose ROE was issued for particular reasons were included; and the reference periods for the 1996 design are consecutive quarters, giving complete coverage across time whereas for the 1995 design, two discrete time periods were selected.&lt;p&gt;The main change to the content compared to COEP 1995 is as follows: information is collected about all employers the individual worked for during the reference period whereas under the 1995 design, information was only collected for the ROE employer, the next employer and the current employer.

description: Notes: Version 2.0 - added missing values;Notes: Only certain reasons for separation were of interest for this survey: shortage of work, injury/illness, voluntary departure, and dismissal. In theory, the administrative file of ROEs covers the target population of paid employees with job separations. However, undercoverage can result from employers sending in ROE forms late (those individuals would not be on the administrative file at the time of sampling). Not all job separation will result in an ROE being issued; in particular, ROEs are seldom issued to part-time employees whose hours are known to be below the minimum required for UI claims. Both undercoverage and overcoverage can result from employers mis-coding the reason for job separation. To help minimize this problem, ROEs issued with the reason for separation recorded as “Other” were included in the sample. Screening questions were asked at the beginning of the interview to screen out those individuals whose reason for separation was not one of the reasons of interest for this survey. For the purpose of this survey, the target population was defined as those individuals who had an ROE issued in one of the target time periods and for one of the target reasons of separation.;
