As rates of population and labour force growth slow in Canada, the country faces important challenges in promoting economic growth and sustaining prosperity. Among the most important public issues are increasing labour force participation rates among groups with low or declining rates of work and reforming education to better prepare graduates for the jobs of the new economy. At the same time, Canada needs to respond to the shifting geography of work. The concentration of employment in a limited number of major urban centres is driving young people to seek work in high-cost cities, while many smaller cities and regions face the prospect of economic and demographic decline. Alors que les taux de population et la croissance de la population active ralentissent au Canada, le pays devra relever d’importants defis pour promouvoir la croissance economique et maintenir la prosperite. Les plus importantes questions d’ordre public porteront, entre autres, sur le taux de participation, au sein de la population active, de groupes presentant des taux d’emploi faibles ou en declin et la reforme de l’education afin de mieux preparer les diplomes aux emplois de la nouvelle economie. Le Canada doit, en meme temps, aborder la geographie changeante du travail. La concentration des emplois dans quelques grands centres urbains pousse les jeunes a chercher du travail dans les villes ou le cout est eleve, alors que les villes plus petites et les regions sont confrontees au declin economique et demographique.

The author argues that the well-being of families in Canada’s future is uncertain because families are losing the central position that was traditionally theirs. Most of the changes that occurred in and around families over the last third of the 20th century came from changes in values (from survival to personal development, from collectivity-oriented to individual-oriented), in gender relations (rising education, labour force participation, and economic independence of women), and in the legal framework that deals with family life. Such changes are still having an impact on families and this impact will likely not diminish. But more than anything else, Canadian society is moving towards a model in which immigration rather than reproduction is the main source of population growth, thus reducing the importance of the family for the development of policies. This, and the increasing political importance given to environmental issues, might further displace the family as a priority for policymaking and the allocation of public resources, and thus impair the future well-being of families.
