By lack Riddell, M.P.P.
As of July, the seasonally
adjusted figure for un-
employment in Canada was
927,000 (or 8.4%). For
Ontario, the seasonally ad-,
kited figure 'was 309,000
(7,3%). Against this back-
ground of nation-wide un-
employment, a recent report
by Statistics Canada is par-
ticularly 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
the 1980s. It provides a
general overview of expected
changes in the manpower
supply from Canada's
education systems, and pos-
sible implications.
Declining enrolment has
been the norm rather than
the exception for elementary
schools since 1970;
secondary schools are now
experiencing the same de-
• cline, which will be felt at the
post-secondary level in the
1980s. The sequence of s
the postwar baby boom, the
subsequent precipitous drop
in births,, and the upturn
since 1973 has created 04
wave and trough effect in
population figure, which is
seen to' move through the
education system into the
labour force. For example,
4-17 year-olds, who were
29.0% of the total in 1971,
will decrease to 20.1% by
1986, while the 25-44 age
group will rise from 25.1% to
33.1%. 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
18-24 age group is a deter-
a.m. Quilts must be de-
,. livered to the office between
9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. on the
morning of the judging with
an informatiou card at-
tached.
The quilts will be the
property and responsibility
of the Ladies Program Com-
mittee of the match from the
date of judging until. the end •
of the match on September
30.
All the quilts entered in
the competition will be dis-
played in the craft building of
the Ladies Program at the
Match. •
The first prize winner .in
the competition will be
awarded $100, second prize
will be $75 and the third
prize will be $50.

mining factor. It has been
projected that this latter age
group will grow ap-
proximately 1.2% annually
to 3.4 million by the early
'1980s, when it will diminish -
to 2.7 million by the mid-,
1990s (a 2r% drop) - and
increase thereafter.
The projected :post-
secondary enrolment in the
Canada Statistics Report is
based on the assumption that
the enrolment rates will
decline from 19.4% in 1976
to 17.4% in 1986, because of,,
': (1) a labour market surplus
of post-secondary graduates
in some disciplines, with
consequent unemployment,
underemployment and de-
creasing wages relative' to
other` workers; (2) a
diminishing demand for
teachers into ghe 1980s as
elenientary-so ondary enrol
ment continua,2% to decrease,
and (3) continuation of the
recent drop in tbe total
proportion of government
expenditures allocated to
education (from 22.2% in
1970 to 17.0% in 1975).
A slowly increasing 18-24
age -group, combined with a
falling enrolment rate results
in more or less stable post-
secondary enrolment be-
tween 1977 and 1982 of about
613,000 students. The sub-
sequent 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 enrol-
ment has been excluded from
the study, and it must be
remembered that ,part-time
students constitute a
significant proportion of
post-secondary enrolment:
an estimated 24%in 1975.
Phenomenal labour force
growth due 'to emergence of
the.‘„, baby boom
genVation from/4 the
education system has been
accentuated by a rapidly
increasing percentage of
working women (33.9%
participation rate in 1965 to
45.9% in 1977) and high
immigration. From 1965 ,to
1975 the labour force in-
creased an average 3.4% a
year, substantially above
other industrialized nations,
including the U.S. The an-
nual influx of job-seeking
school leavers is estimated to
have peaked in 1977. As-
suming 100,000 annual net
migration and a moderately
rising participation rate,
labour fOre e growth ..should
fall from a yearly average of
3.t%in the 1970-75 period, to
17% during 1975-80..2.1%
during 1980-85, and 1.4%
during 1985-90.

year, but not the next, is a
"school leaver". This in-
cludes all students who leave
school for any reason,
graduates or not. Those
remainingcountry and
eligible to work are referred
to as "potential labour force
entrants". The number of
potential labour force en-
trants represents the annual
supply. of "new" Manpower
available to the labour force.
from the education system.
While there are other,
sources of manpower (im-
migration and the household-
sector), the education system
is the principal one.' Due to
the baby boom, the annual
manpower supply from the
education system has in-
creased rapidly. In 1976,
' 60% mere school 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, approximately the
same n'unibef of young
people will be leaving school
and seeking employment as
in 1970s.
Secondary-school leavers
have been and will continue
to be more numerous than
their post-secondary cOunter-
parts( 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 second-
ary school rose only 26%
(from 294,000, to 172,000)
while those with post-
secondary education in-
creased 210% (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 th
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% of new labour force
entrants had post-secondary
credentials or had completed
part of such a program. The
percentage rose to 36% in
1976, and is expected to be
mote' than 42% by 1986 - a'
drastic change in the nature
of new manpower in only 20.
years. More on this subject

Quilters in Huron County
are invited to put their talent

quilt must be double bed size
and must depict some aspect
of the upcoming Inter-'
national Plowing Match, to
be held on the Armstrong
Farm, outside Winghanv in
September.
Since, a large number • of
entries is expected in the
quilt competition, the' place
and time of judging has been
changed from the original
announcement.
Judging will now take
