Abstract: This paper leverages an original linkage between data from the Pension Plans in Canada (PPIC)—a census of all employer pension plans in Canada—and tax data on employers and employees from the Canadian Employer-Employee Dynamic Database (CEEDD) to examine three interrelated questions. First, how have pension plans and coverage evolved between 2001 and 2020? Second, how much do workers value jobs with pension plans? Third, how do these pensions impact employee mobility? Additionally, we analyze how these effects vary depending on the characteristics of the pension plan, such as defined benefit versus defined contribution plans, profit-sharing arrangements, and other structural differences.
