Think-tank warns of social unrest springing from labour shortages
Canada runs the risk of social unrest, a declining standard of living, and a lifeless economy burdened by high inflation if it fails to deal with labour shortages that threaten to plague the country in decades ahead, says a Maritime think-tank.
"Sometime toward the middle of the next decade, and for the first time in at least a century, the number of people willing and available to work in Canada will be smaller than the number of jobs potentially available for them," says the report, written by Dalhousie University professor Jim McNiven and published yesterday by the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies.
