Download or read book Decolonizing Employment written by Shauna MacKinnon and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous North Americans continue to be overrepresented among those who are poor, unemployed, and with low levels of education. This has long been an issue of concern for Indigenous people and their allies and is now drawing the attention of government, business leaders, and others who know that this fast-growing population is a critical source of future labour. Shauna MacKinnon’s Decolonizing Employment: Aboriginal Inclusion in Canada’s Labour Market is a case study with lessons applicable to communities throughout North America. Her examination of Aboriginal labour market participation outlines the deeply damaging, intergenerational effects of colonial policies and describes how a neoliberal political economy serves to further exclude Indigenous North Americans. MacKinnon’s work demonstrates that a fundamental shift in policy is required. Long-term financial support for comprehensive, holistic education and training programs that integrate cultural reclamation and small supportive learning environments is needed if we are to improve social and economic outcomes and support the spiritual and emotional healing that Aboriginal learners tell us is of primary importance.

Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wave of retirements looming as baby boomers age out of the workforce coupled with the substantial existing need for skilled tradespersons point to current and future vacancies in specific sectors of the economy. There are also a growing number of impact and benefit agreements (IBAs) signed between industry and Aboriginal communities that include a clear target for a number of employment opportunities to be reserved for Aboriginal people. Taken together, this demonstrates that there are significant opportunities for Aboriginal people to improve their economic and social condition. However, many Aboriginal people face multiple barriers to employment including challenges relating to education, literacy and essential skills, and job readiness. There is often a mismatch between the skills of a vast number of Aboriginal people and the skills required for current and future employment opportunities, primarily in the resource extraction and supporting industries. The report will look at some of the factors that preclude Aboriginal people from taking advantage of opportunities in the workforce and will also make recommendations to improve their participation in post-secondary education and the labour market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employment equity legislation is becoming more prevalent in Canadian labor markets, yet--other than broad availability numbers--the labor market experiences of designated groups have not been well documented. Using the National Graduates Survey of 1992, this report profiles the early labor market experiences of visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples and persons with disabilities who graduated from Canadian universities and community colleges in 1990. In general, we find that the earnings of designated group members are very similar to the earnings of their classmates. However, we also find that members of these groups are more likely to be unemployed and are less likely to participate in the labor force than others in their class.

Download or read book The Canadian Encyclopedia written by James H. Marsh and published by The Canadian Encyclopedia. This book was released on 1999 with total page 2652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of "The Canadian Encyclopedia is the largest, most comprehensive book ever published in Canada for the general reader. It is COMPLETE: every aspect of Canada, from its rock formations to its rock bands, is represented here. It is UNABRIDGED: all of the information in the four red volumes of the famous 1988 edition is contained here in this single volume. It has been EXPANDED: since 1988 teams of researchers have been diligently fleshing out old entries and recording new ones; as a result, the text from 1988 has grown by 50% to over 4,000,000 words. It has been UPDATED: the researchers and contributors worked hard to make the information as current as possible. Other words apply to this extraordinary work of scholarship: AUTHORITATIVE, RELIABLE and READABLE. Every entry is compiled by an expert. Equally important, every entry is written for a Canadian reader, from the Canadian point of view. The finished work - many years in the making, and the equivalent of forty average-sized books - is an extraordinary storehouse of information about our country. This book deserves pride of place on the bookshelf in every Canadian Home. It is no accident that the cover of this book is based on the Canadian flag. For the proud truth is that this volume represents a great national achievement. From its formal inception in 1979, this encyclopedia has always represented a vote of faith in Canada; in Canada as a separate place whose natural worlds and whose peoples and their achievements deserve to be recorded and celebrated. At the start of a new century and a new millennium, in an increasingly borderless corporate world that seems ever more hostile to nationaldistinctions and aspirations, this "Canadian Encyclopedia is offered in a spirit of defiance and of faith in our future. The statistics behind this volume are staggering. The opening sixty pages list the 250 Consultants, the roughly 4,000 Contributors (all experts in the field they describe) and the scores of researchers, editors, typesetters, proofreaders and others who contributed their skills to this massive project. The 2,640 pages incorporate over 10,000 articles and over 4,000,000 words, making it the largest - some might say the greatest - Canadian book ever published. There are, of course, many special features. These include a map of Canada, a special page comparing the key statistics of the 23 major Canadian cities, maps of our cities, a variety of tables and photographs, and finely detailed illustrations of our wildlife, not to mention the colourful, informative endpapers. But above all the book is "encyclopedic" - which the "Canadian Oxford Dictionary describes as "embracing all branches of learning." This means that (with rare exceptions) there is satisfaction for the reader who seeks information on any Canadian subject. From the first entry "A mari usque ad mare - "from sea to sea" (which is Canada's motto, and a good description of this volume's range) to the "Zouaves (who mustered in Quebec to fight for the beleaguered Papacy) there is the required summary of information, clearly and accurately presented. For the browser the constant variety of entries and the lure of regular cross-references will provide hours of fasination. The word "encyclopedia" derives from Greek expressions alluding to a grand "circle of knowledge." Our knowledge has expandedimmeasurably since the time that one mnd could encompass all that was known.Yet now Canada's finest scientists, academics and specialists have distilled their knowledge of our country between the covers of one volume. The result is a book for every Canadian who values learning, and values Canada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A straightforward and simple index of the unemployment of Aboriginals compared to the population as a whole was created by dividing the rate of Aboriginal unemployment into the rate of unemployment among the general population. [...] While the unemployment rate for Aboriginal people was double that for the whole population in the East, the Aboriginal jobless rate in the West was about three times that for the population, and even worse on the Prairies. [...] Table 6 shows the difference between the East and the Prairies, and the East and the West, in unemployment among Aboriginal people compared to the general population. [...] While the labour market for Aboriginal people is different in the East than the West, compared to the general population, in absolute terms the participation rate in the West has improved to the extent that by 1996 it was almost the same as that in the East for Aboriginal people. [...] Table 11 shows the percentage of the Aboriginal population under age 15 in each of the provinces and territories, and in the regions of the East, West and Prairies.
