Workforce Shortages
In the coming years, Canada faces a serious skills shortage as greater numbers of workers prepare to retire and fewer young people enter the workforce. Many businesses, associations and trade councils have raised alarms about this challenge, including the premiers of all of the provinces in Canada, and yet no concerted, coordinated action has followed these calls.
The Conference Board of Canada estimates that Ontario alone faces a shortage of more than 360,000 skilled employees by 2025 and that could further escalate to a shortage of more than 560,000 skilled employees by 2030.
We must address these serious labour market challenges to promote long-term prosperity. Visit www.workforcecoalition.ca for more information.
