Sources of Employment Growth By Occupation and Industry in Canada: A Comparison of Structural Changes in the 1960's and 1970's
This paper uses input-output and census data from 1961, 1971 and 1981 to decompose the employment changes during each decade into several sources. Decompositions are performed at three levels of aggregation by occupation and by industry. The main influences on employment levels have been changes in labour productivity and in the input-output matrix, and changes in the level and composition of final demand. Shifts in the occupation mix within each industry have 0 occupations related to the "information economy". Comparing employment changes for men and women in the 1970's reveals that while male-female imbalances by occupation declined, the patterns of occupational growth for women reflected the existing distribution of women's employment in 1971.
