Study: Environmentally Adjusted Productivity Growth and the Price of Greenhouse Gas Emissions for the Canadian Manufacturing Sector
Multifactor productivity measures how efficiently inputs are used to produce goods and services. It does not capture the environmental consequences of that production. When the output of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as the result of manufacturing activity is taken into account, it was found that environmentally adjusted multifactor productivity (EAMFP) in the manufacturing sector grew about 70% faster than the standard measure of multifactor productivity from 2004 to 2015. This is largely attributable to the industry’s ability to reduce GHG emissions per dollar of output over time.
Canadians with a Hearing Disability
Living with a hearing disability is unique to each person and crosses all ages and socioeconomic situations. Advances in hearing assistive technology and the various ways to communicate can help Canadians with a hearing disability connect with the world around them. The 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability revealed that while those with a hearing disability use a range of aids and assistive devices, affordability remains an issue for many.
