Unemployment and Labour Force Behaviour of Young People: Evidence from Canada and Ontario (Heritage)

While the unemployment rate for young people has always tended to be well above the average, this tendency has been greatly accentuated in recent years. There is a large turnover in the youth labour force, and the employment of experience of those between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five has been marked by seasonal variations. This study discusses the factors which contribute to the high youth unemployment rate, examines the historical record of labout force participation, and provides some projections into the future. Research report on labour force participation and unemployment rates of youth and young workers in Canada and in Ontario - analyses the historical patterns and makes projections to the year 2000, and covers labour market behaviour, seasonal unemployment, temporary employment (of students), unemployment benefit, sex and age group components, etc. References and statistical tables Frank T.
