Organization For Economic Co-operation And Development: Paradox

Statistics Canada Dept: The thing that surprises me most is why so many people may not try to reap the benefits of employment when they have a high level of education, Statistics Canada senior analyst Patrice de Broucker told on Friday, according to The Star. But that doesn t explain it all, said de Broucker, who is also chief of a working group for the 34-country Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. We need to understand why there is a paradox: if there is a Lost Generation and a unique Canadian paradox means Canada has the best educated adults in the industrialized world, but a baffling chunk of them earn well below the median wage. The youngest and oldest extremes of the workforce comprise most of the paradox: 25-34 year olds who say they are still studying, and 55-65 year olds who say they are retired or semi-retired.
