Age Structure, Income Distribution and Economic Growth
A recent body of empirical cross-country research has confirmed that income equality is positively related to economic growth.This paper provides an explanatory channel for this observed relationship.The novelty of its approach consists in the use of demographic channels to account for cross-country differentials in economic growth and income distribution.The paper builds upon three empirical regularities that have emerged in the recent growth li…

Canada's Unemployment-Immigration Linkage
This paper rejects Veugelers and Klassen's initial suggestion that greater concern with demographic considerations might provide a useful explanation for their empirical finding of a post-1989 change in the unemployment-immigration linkage [in Canada] and offers alternative explanations consistent with economic and, especially, sociological-political theories. It shows how elements of Hawkins's (1988) ¿bureaucratic control' and Simmons and Keohan…

Population, Pyramids and Promotional Prospects
Le concept tres repandu, de mobilit6 verticale de carriere au sein d'une grande entreprise, est peut-etre hors de portee pour plusieurs 'baby boomers' canadiens. Les calculs que presente cet article indiquent que l'adequation entre la structure d'age de la main-d'oeuvre et la pyramide hierarchique de l'entreprise fut a son meilleur a la fin des annees 1970, et que d'importantes differences sont apparues au cours de la decennie 80, oiu la gen6rati…

Changes in Lawyers' Earnings
The relatively greater numbers of young, female, and salaried lawyers are said to have diminished the legal profession's control of the market for its services, and hence of its income and status. This article examines the effects on lawyers' real earnings attributable to the rapid change in size and composition of the legal profession in Canada during the 1970s. An analysis of the components of inter-temporal earnings differences, which takes ac…
Housing in Ontario
Youth Unemployment
The issue of quantity versus price adjustments is now familiar in economics. In our original paper, we focussed on the adjustments in the Canadian labour market resulting from the influx of the baby-boom generation over the 1960s and 1970s. In our view, the increasing numbers of young entrants contributed to increased youth unemployment rates, especially over the 1970s when the bulk of the baby-boom generation entered the labour market. However, …
Youth Employment in Canada
n 1984, la question du chomage des jeunes etait au coeur des preoccupations d'un grand nombre d'individus et d'organismes, aussi bien dans le secteur public que priv6, de tous les grands partis politiques et de tous les niveaux de gouvernement au Canada. Rarement voit-on un probleme social faire l'unanimit6 a ce point. Mais si elles sont louables, les interventions r6centes ne sont pas necessairement bien dirig6es. Le ch6mage des jeunes n'est pas…
Migration in an Economic-Demographic Model for the Canadian Provinces
This paper is a description of the structure of a multiregion economic-demographic model for the Canadian provinces. An important part of the demographic model is the estimation of net migration equations based on a human capital approach and incorporating the adding-up constraint that arises since the sum of the net migration flows across all provinces must be 0 in each period. These endogenous migration flows allow for variables from the econom…

Public Employment and Compensation in Canada
after taxes shows substantially higher profits in Canada than in the US. Contrary to other studies, Mintz suggests that the costs of financial intermediation are higher in Canada than in the US. The Mintz results are bound to be controversial, not the least because of his unfortunate use of normative concept 'excess profit.' Discussion is likely to focus on the question 'What is excess' rather than on the real substance of his study. The work is …
Provincial Public Finance in Ontario
This detailed and informative study makes a timely contribution to a subject that has been the focus of much public discussion and debate in Ontario and elsewhere, namely the size and growth of the public sector. Working with the Public Accounts and other sources, Professor Foot offers both an historical account of, and an explanation for, the growth of provincial revenues and expenditures since the early 1950s. By concentrating on an analysis of…
The Other Half of Gross Investment
D URING the past two decades, gross investment has on average been divided approximately equally between net capital accumulation and replacement. Because of its relation to economic growth, the process of net accumulation has received nearly all of the attention in the investment literature. However, gross investment is the important variable for aggregate demand and therefore for stabilization. Moreover, an understanding of the process of repla…
