Youth employment and un(der) employment in Canada: More than a temporary problem?
Authors: Karen Foster
Overview
Abstract (English)
This report looks at trends in youth employment, and finds that one of the most troubling narratives to emerge from the economic downturn of 2007-08 revolved around the effect of recessed global and local economies on young workers. According to the report, young workers are more likely to be unemployed or precariously employed in non-permanent jobs-and regardless of whether they have post-secondary qualifications, these young workers will likely endure the negative effects of un- and underemployment for years to come.
