The paper assesses the labour market adjustment experiences of Canadian workers who were permanently laid off between 1981 and 1984. Such lay-offs could be due to structural or cyclical causes. Data from a special survey are used to answer a number of questions. What types of workers were most likely to experience job loss and in which industries or occupations did they work? What happened to these workers when their jobs were abolished? Did they adjust relatively quickly and successfully, finding new jobs in a short time at the same income level? Or did a significant number spend long periods seeking new jobs and undergo large pay cuts? How many turned to retraining or relocation in an attempt to find a new job? Were there major movements among industrial sectors in the process (say from manufacturing to services), and how did workers who made such a transition fare? Circumstances varied tremendously from one worker to another. Nearly one-quarter of the workers who found new jobs did so within three weeks, while 10% took more than one year. Of those finding new jobs, 55% found jobs paying higher wages, 45% took pay cuts in their new jobs. On the whole, however, these permanently laid off workers fared poorly compared to the rest of the labour force. Their unemployment rate in January, 1986 (the time of the survey) was 25%, more than double the national average. Even among workers with considerable experience in the lost job (3 years or more), the unemployment rate was 24%.

This study is aimed at estimating the pattern and magnitude of worker and job reallocation, in both the long and the short run, as part of the dynamics of the market economy. It addresses such questions as: Have there been shifts in the relative importance of different sectors and industries? What effects do the exit and entry rates of plants have on the release and hiring of labour? How extensive is the employment expansion and contraction of continuing firms? How important is firm size in the process of job gain and job loss? How significant are worker separations? What is the relationship between form-related job turnover and worker separations? Do `trade-sensitive' industries experience less or more employment change than other industries?.

Peter T. Chinloy and Ernst W. Stromsdorfer I. Background to Adjustments in Labor Markets The book examines the process of adjustment in labor markets across countries arising from external shocks and shifts in international competi tiveness. The examination of specific countries and their data permits a comparison of alternative institutions for compensating and redeploying labor. Four countries are involved, whose labor markets are both competi tive and complementary: Canada, Japan, Mexico, and the United States. Both public labor market institutions, such as direct government com~ pensation of displaced workers and the effect of unemployment insurance, and private market arrangements, such as em loyer-employee agreements on layoffs, the work contract, and severance pay, are considered. Compara tive examination across countries of labor market and related insitutions is thus possible. The book has a common theme, namely the adjustment of labor markets to exogenous shocks, particularly those externally induced. The unifying focus in on workers whose specific skills in an industry or firm render them relatively immobile.

Experiences in Australia also indicate that addressing young people's LMI needs in the educational system and addressing the needs of high school drop-outs is very important for an LMI system, since the specialized skill needs of the future labour market can only be met by shaping the skills of all labour force participants, and of young people in particular. [...] Perhaps surprisingly, the incidence of job loss in the Canadian economy in the first years of the current decade is lower than that in the preceding decades. [...] Moreover, the existence of heterogeneity in the labour market results in workers that differ from one another in terms of the skills they possess and firms that differ from one another in terms of the skills they demand. [...] It focuses on the link between the educational HRSDC system and the labour market through the analysis of occupational projections and labour market outcomes. [...] It is designed to determine such factors as: the extent to which graduates of postsecondary programs have been successful in obtaining employment since The National graduation; the relationship between the graduates' programs of study and the Graduate employment subsequently obtained; the graduates' job and career satisfaction; the Survey (NGS) rates of under-employment and unemployment; the type.

This paper measures different aspects of labor market change that the Canadian economy has absorbed since 1970 by examining three separate measures of change and relating them to one another. The first set of measures examines the extent of employment shifts between industries, the second consists of job-change measures that capture the extent of employment growth and decline as a result of changes in producer employment levels, and the third set examines the size of and reasons for worker separations. The paper begins with a review of recent studies on inter- and intra-industry change and then quantifies some of the pressures placed on the Canadian labor force by change, in a way that overcomes the deficiencies in the reviewed literature. It then presents and discusses the results of the measurements of labor market change in the Canadian manufacturing sector.

Since the inception and design of Canada's Employment Insurance (EI) program, the Canadian economy and labour market have undergone dramatic changes. It is clear that EI has not kept pace with those changes, and experts and advocates agree that the program is no longer effective or equitable. Making EI Work is the result of a panel of distinguished scholars gathered by the Mowat Centre Employment Insurance Task Force to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, and future directions of EI. The authors identify the strengths and weaknesses of the system, and consider how it could be improved to better and more fairly support those in need. They make suggestions for facilitating a more efficient Canadian labour market, and meeting the human capital requirements of a dynamic economy for the present and the foreseeable future. The chapters that comprise Making EI Work informed the task force's final recommendations, and form an engaging dialogue that makes the case for, and defines the parameters of, a reformed support system for Canada's unemployed.
