The relationship between firm size and age of workforce : a cross-industry analysis for Canada / by Jiaosheng He, Derek Messacar, and Yuri Ostrovsky.: CS11-633/2017-10E-PDF

"Using an employer–employee matched dataset of administrative tax records on most Canadian firms and the full populations of their workers, this paper documents relationships between firm size, industry, and the typical ages of firms’ workforces. In particular, the paper considers both differences in levels for the calendar years 2003 to 2010 inclusive, as well as changes in the age composition of firms’ workforces over this time as observed in a longitudinal analysis. The results indicate that there is substantial heterogeneity in the ages of firms’ workforces across both firm size and industry. In addition, the extent to which the age composition of firms’ workforces changed over time is strongly correlated with the size of firms, where smaller firms saw the largest increases in age composition. The implications of these findings for Canadian research and policy are briefly discussed"--Abstract.
