Each year a small fraction of the labor force moves between different provinces in Canada. Numerous studies focus on provincial mobility in Canada. However most of the studies are based on census data and estimation of provincial net migration rate to determine overall gain and loss of a province \citep{bernard2008interprovincial, chen2009inter,…

That caused more workers to be tied to the land in order to produce what was needed to survive and in many cases the food supply could not sustain a larger society (White 1940, 151).
