Skills and shortages : a summary guide to the findings of the Human Resources Survey / Gordon Betcherman.: EC22-87/1980E-PDF
"In recent years, it has become increasingly apparent that there are shortages of certain occupational skills in this country. Despite the attention now being directed toward these imbalances, great gaps have existed in our knowledge of where the most critical shortages are and what we can do about them. In response to this situation, the Economic Council of Canada has recently carried out a nation-wide project focussing on the manpower problems and programs of employers in this country. This effort - the Human Resources Survey - has gathered data from close to 1,400 establishments in virtually all industries regarding their experiences in meeting their skill requirements. In addition to outlining the dimensions of the shortage problem, our inquiry also addresses the strategies used by the respondents to ensure they have the human resources which they need. Particular emphasis has been placed on identifying their programs for developing vocational skills through training. In this summary report, the findings of the Human Resources Survey are highlighted. It is our hope that this publication will be both informative and useful for those parties interested in the Canadian labour market"--Introd., p. v.
