An important proposition driving the current policy debate over training in this country is that Canadian industry must invest more in developing its human resources. This paper examines the "underinvestment" contention, assessing the evidence that does exist and identifying what additional information would be necessary for appropriate decision-making in the training policy area. The central argument is that policymakers--who must decide if, and how, governments should intervene in training markets--are not presently being well served by data-gatherers and analysts. The current preoccupation with simply estimating the volume of training in industry must give way to more difficult research question including the impacts of training on employers and workers, the motivation underlying the firm's training decisions, and the sorts of incentives that would encourage more investment in training
