As ° of July, the seasonally adjusted figure for unemployment in Canada was 927,000 (or 8.4 percent). For Ontario, the seasonally adjusted figure was 309,000 (7.3 percent). Against this background of nation- wide unemployment, a recent report by Statistics Canada is particularly interesting. The report "Out of School - Into the Labour Force", concerns trends and prospects for enrolment, , school .leavers and the labour force in Canada - the 1960s through 1980s. It provides a general overview of expected changes in the manpower supply from Canada's education systems and possible implications. Declining enrolment has been the. norm rather than the exception for elementary schools since 1970; secondary schools are now experiencing the same decline, which will be felt at the post- secondary level in the 1980s. The sequence of the postwar baby boom, the subsequent precipitous drop in births and the upturn since 1973 has created a wave and trough effect in population figure, which is seen to move through the education system into the labour force. For example,' four to 17-year- olds, who were 29.0 percent of the total in 1971, will decrease to 20.1 percent by 1986, while the 25 to 44 age group will rise from 25.1 percent to 33.1 percent. School enrolment closely follows population trends, because of the com- pulsory nature of elementary and much secondary' school education: at the post- secondary level, the size of the 18 to 24 group is a determining factor. It has been projected that this latter age group will grow approximately 1.2 per- cent annually to 3.4 million by the early 1980s, when it will diminish - to 2.7 million by the mid- 1990s. (a 21 percent drop) - and increase thereafter.

Stop in soon! the Canada Statistics Report is based on the assumption that the enrolment rate will decline from 19.4 percent 1976 to 17.4 percent in 1986, because of: a labour market surplus of post- secondary graduates in some disciplines, with consequent unem- ployment, un- deremployment and decreasing wages relative to other workers; a diminishing demand for teachers into the 1980s as elementary -secondary enrolment continues to decrease;rand con- tinuation of the recent drop ,in the total proportion of government expenditures allocated to education (from 22.2 percent in 1970 to 17.0 percent in 1975), A slowly increasing 18- 24 age group, combined with a falling enrolment rate results in more or less stable pos t - secondary enrolment between 1977 and 1982 of about 613,000 students. The subsequent decline in the 18-24 age group is expected to cause enrolment to drop to around 550,000 by 1986. This is -likely to continue into the early 1990s. Part- time enrolment has been excluded from the study and it must be remem- bered that part-time students constitute a significant proportion of post -secondary enrolment: an estimated, 24 percent in 1925.. Phenominal labour force growth due to emergence of the baby boom generation from the education system has been accentuated by a rapidly increasing percentage of working women (33.9 percent participation rate in 1965 to 45.9 percent in 1977) and high immigration. From 1965 to 1975 the labour force increased an average 3.4 percent a year, substantially above other industrialized nations, including the U.S. The annual influx of job -seeking school leavers is estimated to have peaked in 1977. Assuming 100,000 annual net migration and a moderately rising par- ticipation rate, labour force growth should fall from a yearly average of 3.6 percent in the 1970-75 period to 2.7 percent during 1975-80, 2.1 per- cent during 1980-85 and 1.4 percent , during 1985- 90. For the purpose of the Canada Statistics Report, everyone enrolled full- time at any level in the education system during one academic year, but not the next is a "school leaver". This includes all students who leave school for any reason, graduates or not. Those remaining in the country and eligible for work are referred to as 't'potential labour force entrants" The number of potential labour force entrants represents the annual supply of "new" man- power available to the labour force from the education system. While there are other sources of manpower (immigration and the household sec- tor), the education system is the principal one. • Due to the baby boom, the annual manpower supply from • the education system has increased rapidly. In 1976, 60 percent more schoo) leavers became available to the work force than in 1966 (580,000 compared with 360,000). This figure is expected to rise until 1980, when it will decline each year until the early 1990s. By the mid-1980s ap- proximately the same number of young people will be leaving school and seeking employment as in the 1970s. Secondary -school leavers have been ° and will continue to be more numerous than their post- secondary counterparts. But the real difference has been the respective rates at which output from the two levels has increased. Between 1966 and 1976, the annual number of labour force entrants from secondary school rose only 26 per- cent (from 294,000 to 372,000) while those with post -secondary education increased 210 percent (from 67,000 to 208,000). By 1986, the number with secondary education will have shrunk to almost the 1966 level, and those leaving the post- secondary system will be more than triple the 1966 figure. Variations in the past were caused by the tendency for a larger proportion of young people to attend post- secondary institutions. In the medium-term future, the population's changing age composition will increase' the size of the post -secondary -educated segment vis-a-vis those with secondary schooling. This, results in relatively more highly educated labour force entrants. In 1966, approximately 19 percent of the new labour force entrants had post -secondary credentials or had completed part of such a program. The percentage rose to 36 percent in 1976 and is expected to be more than 42 percent b5, 1986 - a •drastic change in the nature of new man- power in only 20 years. More on this subject next week.
