TORONTO, May 5, 2021 /CNW/ - Building on a longstanding research project conducted by Public Policy Forum (PPF) and the Diversity Institute and supported by the Future Skills Centre about the future of work, a new research series, Skills for the Post Pandemic World tackles key questions facing policymakers, employers, training providers and workers as they collectively turn to face the post-pandemic future of skills, training and retraining. Released today as part of the series is a report analysing the growing job polarization in Canada from 1989 to 2019 and shows a steady increase in high-skilled jobs while mid-skilled jobs dwindle in Canada. It also shows that women are making gains in high skilled jobs and youth and immigrants are engaging more in low-skilled jobs, creating inequitable access to the labour market and a large wage gap.
