“…Given the information on the skill levels, we analyze how the labor productivity growth and employment growth differed across four sectors: (i) agriculture and mining; (ii) manufacturing; (iii) electricity supply and construction; and (iv) services. We follow Tang (2016), who proposes a decomposition method to estimate the impact of an improvement in skills and of productivity by skill level on overall productivity. We decompose labor productivity growth as follows:…”

“…Les estimations confirment celles de Tang & Wang (2020) qui ont indiqué la diminution de la productivité canadienne de 2000 à 2009. En effet, cette diminution de la productivité après 2000 dans le secteur de la fabrication canadienne a principalement découlé d'un recul de la productivité des grandes entreprises (Tang, 2017) ou des exportateurs (Baldwin et al, 2011). Cependant, Baldwin et al (2011) ont également soutenu qu'au moins, la moitié de la baisse de la productivité était attribuable à la nature procyclique de la croissance de la productivité découlant de l'utilisation de la capacité.…”

La question de la croissance de la productivité et de la compétitivité des entreprises manufacturières du Québec est un enjeu qui a guidé l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre de diverses politiques de développement économique au cours des dernières années. L’économie du Québec et celle des régions dépendent en grande partie de la capacité des entreprises manufacturières à pénétrer les marchés internationaux, à y rester et à performer durablement. Dans ce rapport, les auteurs examinent l’impact des investissements en recherche et développement (R&D) et en technologies de l’information et de communication (TIC) sur les changements structurels d’utilisation des intrants, des coûts et des gains de productivité totale des facteurs (PTF) et évaluent si les gains générés ont un impact sur la destination et le volume des exportations des PME du secteur manufacturier du Québec. Ils s’appuient sur les données du Fichier de microdonnées longitudinales des comptes nationaux (FMLCN) de 2001 à 2022. Leurs analyses suggèrent un faible impact, voire un impact négatif, de l’investissement en R&D et en TIC sur la croissance de la PTF des entreprises manufacturières québécoises. Par ailleurs, une hausse de la PTF entrainerait une augmentation du nombre de destinations ou du nombre de produits exportés, mais seulement dans le cas des exportations à destination des états américains.

“…Since the 2000s, labour productivity and top‐end employment growth in Canada have stalled, stemming from a cooling off in knowledge‐based industries and a concomitant boom in resource‐based industries (Green and Sand, 2015; Beaudry et al, 2016; Hasanzadeh and Khan, 2019). The Canadian economy has undergone a structural change, shifting away from manufacturing to resource‐based industries (Brown, 2014; Baldwin and Willox, 2016; Tang, 2017). The natural resource boom also stimulated growth in the construction and transportation industries.…”

“…The natural resource boom also stimulated growth in the construction and transportation industries. These sectors generally have limited demand for university‐educated workers (Tang, 2017). Two‐thirds of job vacancies in Canada in 2016/2017 required no more than a high school education, and half of the unemployed had some post‐secondary education (Drolet, 2017).…”

Trends in Immigrant Overeducation: The Role of Supply and Demand

This study asks whether recent immigrants and Canadian-born youth have become increasingly overeducated for their jobs because of changes in the supply of university-educated workers and demand for their human capital. Based on analyses of four Canadian censuses, the study found that over the 2001-2016 period, only about one-half of the growth in the supply of university-educated workers was matched with growth in jobs that required a university degree. Recent immigrants bore most of the brunt of this structural imbalance, becoming more concentrated in low-and medium-skill jobs. In comparison, the prevalence of education-occupation match of young Canadian-born workers increased over this period. Consequently, the gap in overeducation between these population groups has widened. To address this gap, immigration policy should use a tandem process that selects immigrants based on human capital and demand-driven criteria.
