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. Also, " all entries will re- ceive a $10 award: Anyone wishing further information about the quilt, competition can calk Dorothy Coultes, secretary for the ladies program, at 887-6124. 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. „ -For the purpose of the Canada Statistics Report, everyone enrolled full-time at any !eve{ in tne edtication system during one academic.' 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 next week. Quilters in Huron County are invited to put their talent to the' test ' and design an , original quilt for the Inter- national Plowing Match. The competition is open to allgroups and individuals in the county. The basic rules are that the 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 place at the O'MAF office in Clinton on September 18 at 11 Fall Fair groups meet The Annual Meeting and Banquet • of the Ontario Association of Agrieultural, Societies, District 8_,_Buren- -Rrth will be held Wednes- day, October 25, it was decided at a meeting held,in Kirkton recently.
