Labour Policies
Through the application of external demand, internal supply and attrition rate analysis the C4SE has assisted a number of major employers, occupational groups and communities in coming to grips with their future recruitment requirements by creating detailed provincial occupational demand and supply models and projections.
- We carry out international analysis of the impact of components of labour productivity growth and openness to trade on labour income growth at the sectoral level (on going).
- We assess the future operational workforce supply/demand for construction industry workers on a regional basis for the Construction Sector Council (ongoing).
- We developed and conducted a survey of stakeholders for the Forum of Labour Market Ministers on occupational analyses, modeling and forecasting and delivered a report which included recommendations (2006).
- We developed a detailed Occupational Supply Model and ten-year forecast for the province of Alberta, with 139 occupations, six age cohorts, four levels of schooling, 11 major fields of study by gender. The forecast system also has an education sub-model and an aboriginal demographic model (2004 and 2005).
- We carried out a literature review of occupational and geographic mobility and how they are treated in occupational models internationally (2005).
- We developed reports on the extent of expected labour shortages in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario for a human resource consulting firm in Montreal (2004).
- We developed a report on the future demand and supply of tourism workers in Canada for the Canada Tourism Human Resources Council (2004).
