Like other nations around the world, Canada is struggling to position itself in a global, knowledge-based economy. Education affects not just skills and knowledge, but also social inequality, economic growth, and civic engagement. Thus, the link between education and the economy is at the centre of the policy agenda. Educational Outcomes for the Canadian Workplace explores how educational programs are changing, which skills matter in the economy, and how policy has responded to the educational and economic pressures of the 1990s. Jane Gaskell and Kjell Rubenson have brought together a distinguished group of scholars from economics, commerce, sociology of education, adult education, and educational administration, and the volume covers a broad range of issues, educational outcomes, methodologies, and sources of evidence. Illuminating the issues around education and the economy in Canada, Educational Outcomes for the Canadian Workplace makes a significant contribution to the international debate on globalization.
