Here in Canada, wome
represent close to half o
• all post-s.econdar
students - a highe
proportion even than i
the United States.
Over 'the past tw
decades, OECD countrie
have enjoyed industria
productivity increases o
over four percent an
nually. However, whe
the growing service
orientation in family
expenditures is taken into
account, it is not at al
clear that their own
demands for manufac
tured goods will grow fast
enough to keep pace with
their growing labourforces. If this proves .to be
the case, the implication
is that 'most OECD
nations including Canada
will beforced to broadentheir ,reliance on in-
ternational trade and
look to wider markets for
their industrial output.
The conclusion reached
by .Mr. Jenness is that
with the evolution to
service-oriented,$
trepreneurs will almost
n. certainly find it more
n economical to use part -
f time help or - to lease
y workers in order to avoid
✓ the' overhead costs of
n regular employees.
Who winds up in these
o "secondary jobs"?
Usually those with the
1least bargaining power in
the labour market, the
least interest in .a per -
n manent carer, or thew
least qualified. Often this le
means women, par- c
ticularly married fl
1women, andyoung a'people. r
Mr. Jenness has been a c
senior Economic Council j
staff member since 1973. • w
He directedthe last three b
Annual Reviews, and sh
before 'that the Council
study'PeopleandJobs". th
In addition, he has a long- w
standing history of fa
workingwith the federal re
government of Canada, co
including five years as co
Director of Planning and sp
Evaluation for the m
Department of Man- jo
power and Immigration.

political journalist,
eporting from Ottawa. A

from their own in-clin.ations, the dictates of

Obviously, servicescannot be stockpiled as

she would like to do when
site finishes school. She
wants to travel, learn
French, take economics
and political science
courses at university and
some days she has the
romantic notion of going
off to live in a garret in
Paris.
She wants to be a
novelist. It is her. real
ambition. She hopes to
take a course in the novel
bcause'' "writing is a
craft; talent is not
enough".
Initiative is something
Lise had without being.
aware of it.
When her class was
assigned to interview a
prominent person, she
and a friend decided to
interview Robert. Stan-
field and John Diefen-
baker. They went to
Ottawa and stayed in a
hostel for a weekend last
year. They were there
when the federal election
was called.
Mr. Stanfield's office
would not return her call
so Lise called Joe Clarks
office. An aid told her Mr.
Clark did not have 30
minutes to spare for an
interview before the
election and.asked if she
wished to speak to anyone
else.
She asked to interview
Mr. Stanfield and a
return call laterarranged
her interview with him.
She asked ,for 30 minutes
and he gave her a 45 -
minute interview. While
she was getting her in-
terview with Mr. Stan-
field, her friend was
interviewing Mr.
Diefenbaker.
LIKES NEEDHAM
She enjoys Richard
Needham, Globe and
Mail columnist, and he
once wrote, students
often call and ask to see
him and then never show
up.
Lise called and asked
for a meeting and he
agreed to see her. She
met him at his office at
the Globe and Mail and
during the last months of
school before summer
she had several v'is'its
with him.
She said she w.as
surprised that he would
take the time to talk with
a journalism student but
found°°he was probably
just as surprised that she
came to see him.
She used to think
Needham had a "market
on truth", but as she
grows older she is not as
swe, He once said
everything is good and
bad and that's the glory
of it. It Founds good but do
we let the bad things stay
because that's the glory
ofit sheasks.
Lise was raised on a
farm which she
remembers as a joyful
experience. Her
childhood was wonderful
because of it. Herparents, Merle and Sheila
Gunby, farm in Ashfield
and formerly near
Burlington, but she
doesn't think she could,
return to life on the farm.
She chose to go to a
college in Toronto and
;she likes the city.
She worked with
mentally retarded for two
summers and originally
took a year in Mental
Retardation Counselling
before enrolling in
journg1ism..
"People think it
requires patience to work
with the mentally
retarded but it really
does not require special
patience," she says.
"You must go slower".
Her immediate aim in
journalism is to become
knowledgeable about
world affairs and current
events. When she in-
terviewed the Viet-
namese refugees she
knew little about Viet-
nam: She learned as she
did the interview. She
hopes to be familiar with
the background issue to a
story before she does the
interview. That's a good
journalist.
