Jenness, who is currently Senior Policy Adviser to the Chairman of the Economic Council of Canada. This is the first time a study by a Canadian economist has ever been published by the OECD. The original submission was part of background documen- tation for a meeting of OECD experts on "Structural Determinants of Employment and Unem- ployment" in March 1977. Basically, the study is an overall review of manpower policies which are followed in the major OECD coun- tries, including Canada. It takes into account a number of important factors in- cluding insurance programs, income security and unemployment, There is also some discussion of labour market problems which are expected to develop in the 1980's. In the majority of Western European countries, man- power policies are ad- ministered through a combination of public and private intervention. Employers, through their associations, or as a result of regulations, surtaxes or other systems, are directly :.,..uuniemaumumuiluieleffluinn.

On the other hand, in the case of Japan's modernized industrial sector, employers, as part of a reciprocal lifetime commitment to their employees, bear virtually all the costs of occupational training and mobility, and of keeping unemployment rates low. Here in Canada, we are, as you know, at the other ex- treme. Almost all manpower initiatives involve govern- ment programs which are funded from general tax revenues. Throughout the world, certainly in the OECD countries, one of the hallmarks of the 1960's and early 1970's has been a major shift in family expenditure patterns, away from manufactured products and foodstuffs towards personal services and travel or towards collective goods such as education and hospital medical services. This period has also, of course, seen the rapidly increasing participation of women in the workforce throughout the OECD area. Of course, this increasing role of women has broadened their opportunities, and contributed substantially to rising family incomes. However, these benefits have not been achieved without considerable sacrifice. Mr. Jenness cites a UNESCO report which shows that when both housework and childcare are included, a wage-employed wife works a 3-hour longer day that a wife who stays home. She works over one hour per day longer than do employed men. Moreover - and very significant - males still enjoy preferential treatment not only in em- ployment and wages but also in their prior educational opportunities. In this respect, Canada has a better record than many countries. According to statistics, in Norway, the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan less than 40 percent of students in higher education are women. Here in Canada, women represent close to half of all post- secondary students - a higher proportion even than in the United States. Over the .ast two decades, YOU'RE WHISTLING IN THE DARK... Li. IF YOU THINK THAT HEART AT TACK AND STROKE HIT ONLY THE OTHER FELLOW'S FAMILY. OECD countries have en- joyed industrial productivity increases of over four, per- cent annually, However, when the growing service- orientation in family ex- penditures is taken into account, it is not at all clear that their own demands for manufactured goods will grow fast enough to keep pace with their growing labour forces. If this proves to be the case, the implocation is that most OECD nations in- cluding Canada will be forced to broaden their reliance on international trade and look to wider markets for their industrial output. The conclusion reached by Mr. Jenness is that with the evolution to service-oriented economies, increasing numbers of the labour force will have non-permanent jobs, either from their own inclinations, the dictates of consumer demands or simply the competitive pressures of wage costs, Obviously, services cannot be stockpiled as can material goods, and many demands for services in- volve daily, weekly or seasonaly peaks or troughs which in turn result in corresponding ebbs and flows of jobs. Therefore, as basic wage rates rise, entrepreneurs will almost certainly find it more economical to use part- time help, or to lease workers in order to avoid the overhead costs of regular employees. Who winds up in these "secondary Alps?" Usually those with the least bargaining power in the labour market, the least interest in a permanent career, or the least qualified. Often this means women, particularly married women, and young people. Mr. Jenness has been a senior Economic Council staff member since 1973. He directed the last three Annual Reviews, and before that the Council study "People and Jobs." In addition, he has a long- standing history of working with the federal government of Canada, including five years as Director of Plan- ning and Evaluation for the Department of Manpower and immigration.
