The growth of manpower in Canada / by Frank T. Denton.: CS99-556/1969E-PDF

"The record of labour force growth which it has been possible to compile goes back only to the middle of the nineteenth century but the population record goes back much further. The labour force does not vary strictly in unison with population; changes in age distributions and other factors result in differences in rates of growth and these factors will be considered below. However, the patterns of growth are similar in broad outline, especially over long periods. With this in mind, the present study begins with a survey of historical changes in the size of the Canadian population. This permits a longer historical perspective than would be possible if attention were to be confined to the labour force series alone. It also has the advantage of providing a more general background of Canadian growth and development against which to view the changes in the labour force."--Intro.
