The initiative was founded on two fundamental beliefs: that the integration of economic and social objectives lies at the heart of the policy agenda, and that the quality of life of Canadians will enjoy for decades to come depends in important ways on how well we meet this challenge of integrating economic and social objectives. The series contains articles that review the current state of economic performance and social progress in Canada and in other countries; provide in-depth examinations of specific aspects of our economic performance and social progress; and analyze the two-way linkages and interaction between economic performance and social progress. The articles are accessible to a general audience. Contributions are commissioned from leading Canadian researchers in a variety of disciplines. Two issues have been released to date.

Handle: RePEc:sls:secfds Template-type: ReDIF-Series 1.0 Name: A Symposium on Canadian Labour Force Participation in the 1990s (Special Issue of Canadian Business Economics, Volume 7, Number 2, May 1999) Description: A major development in the Canadian labour market in the 1990s has been the decline in labor force participation. This unexpected development has had important implications for the standard of living of Canadians and the conduct of macroeconomic policy. This issue of Canadian Business Economics consists of a symposium on labour force participation in Canada in the 1990s. The idea for this symposium came out of a December 1997 workshop on labour force participation organized by the Canadian Employment Research Forum. The Centre for the Study of Living Standards and Human Resources Development Canada then organized two sessions on declining labour force participation at the annual meeting of the Canadian Economics Association in May 1998 where these papers were first presented. The papers were then refereed and revised for publication. After peaking at 67.5 per cent in 1989, the aggregate participation rate of the population 15 and over fell continually during the first seven years of the 1990s to a trough of 64.8 per cent in 1997. The articles in this symposium attempt to explain this 2.7 percentage points decline in labour force participation. The papers identify both structural and cyclical factors contributing the decline in participation in the 1990s. The pace of participation rate increases in the 1970s and 1980s was unsustainable in the 1990s, due to the following structural factors: the leveling of cohorts effects reflecting the narrowing of the gap between male and female participation rates meant that the large increases in female participation experienced in the 1970s and 1980s was no longer possible; the rising school enrolment rate, reflecting the increased recognition of education for labour market success, acted to reduced the youth participation rate; the changing demographic composition of the population, and in particular the growth in the share of the population 65 and over, reduced the aggregate participation rate. This issue of Canadian Business Economics will be of interest to all persons following current labour market developments in Canada.
