More people educated A snap -shot of Ontario taken during the 1981 Census reveals that we are more highly educated than ever before. More and more we are finding ourselves in occupations and industries which demand new skills and more education. Figures from the 1981 Census released March 1 by Statistics Canada show that four out of five Ontarians 15 years of age and over have attended secondary school or higher and one-third of Ontario residents have some post -secondary education. In 1971, the ratio of those with less than Grade 8 to those with a university degree: was 5.5:1. In 1981, this education gap had decreased to 2.2:1. In 1971, 5.3 percent of Ontario's residents had a university degree and this increased to nine percent by 1981. Alberta was the only province to surpass Ontario, with 9.6 percent of its population 15 years of age and over possessing a university degree. Ontario, however, has the highest proportion of this population with masters and doctorates —1.8 percent. These changes in education in Ontario parallel increases in a number of highly -specialized oc cupations. Managerial, • administrative and related occupations have grown by 104.9 percent since 1971 and there has been a significant increase of 97.4 percent in artistic, literary, recreational and related occupations. This compares with a moderate 9.3 percent growth in farming and other related agricultural oc- cupations. In 1981, Ontario's largest occupational group remained clerical and related occupations, num- bering 865,415 compared to 590,270 in 1971. Growth in a number of Ontario's industrial sectors has been equally impressive. In 1981, manufacturing in- dustries still possessed the largest labour force -- 1,031,885 — an increase of 25.9 percent since 1971,while the finance, insurance, and real estate industries surged in that decade with a growth of 63.9 percent. In 1981, Ontario's • labour ' force numbered 4,464,050 for a participation rate of 67 percent of Ontarians over age 15. Twenty-seven per- cent of this labour force resided within Metropolitanj� Toronto municipality. Participation rates for Torontonians over 15 years of age are three percentage points higher than for the province as a whole. Mobility data revealed that 53.1 percent of Ontario's population five years of age and over in 1981 occupied the same dwelling as they did in 1976. This can be compared' to the national figure, of 52.4 percent. Of all those who have moved, slightly more than half moved within the same municipality. Since 1976, Ontario registered a net loss of 78,070 people to migration, with 38.6 percent heading for Alberta and another 23.1 percent moving to British Columbia. Quebec was the only province to a tceed this net loss off population, due to internal migration, with 141,760 people moving..out of that province over the past five years. Ontario's fertility con- tinues to run below the national average. In 1981, the average number of children for ever -married women 15 years of age and over was 2.5 in Canada, while in Ontario it was 2.3. The decline in this measure of fertility for Ontario has accelerated significantly in the past decade. From 1961 to 1971, the drop was 2.4 percent, while from 1971 to 1 1, the decline was 5.8 percent. .i 4 _ GODEBIC1Ir$ N C, t PNE,S Ay,MAIMI‘'9 1 - PAGEPA f 11,11141,1011, 141 Nre wB1, ural REGULAR & ALL BEEF Maple Leaf Wieners OUR REGULAR PRICE 2.69 1 lb vac pac k.+ MAPLE LEAF SKINLESS, PURE PORK &ALL BEEF Golden Fry .49 Sausages, 500 g 29 SLICED, 16 VARIETIES INCL MAC & CHEESE Maple Leaf Cooked Meats..9 MAPLE LEAF, BRISKET, VAC PAC Corned io• 622!
