Current projects
- Several social issues related to the transition of education to the labor market among young adults have created a social policy issue in various countries. This project analyzes the employment patterns of young people in the years since the financial crisis. We discuss variations among various countries, and also the differences between Quebec and Canada. In studying these differences, we focus on variations among key segments of the population, such as immigrants and certain levels of education.
- The impact of the financial crisis on the employment paths of older people is the concern of another project. The crisis has resulted in a rather long-term financial repression regime, causing great difficulties for a significant proportion of this segment of the population in terms of income level based on the financial capital. This project analyzes the variations among certain key segments of the population in terms of the level of this economic pressure, and the sophistication of their relevant risk management.
- This project focuses on some aspects of the consequences of a huge population growth that has a big drop in their cognitive or functional abilities. Canada will have this growth when a large proportion of baby boomers reach age 80 or older. The analysis is driven by the question of whether Canada will find a level of labor supply needed to deliver services for this population segment. This labor supply will be produced by a human resources network that will encompass both paid work and unpaid work. The project aims to estimate the relative size of the human resources network at age 65 or over, as well as its composition and geographical distribution.
