We are striving to meet Canadians’ evolving information needs, and using new tools and channels to make our data more accessible and engaging. Statistics Canada’s centennial is an opportunity to honour the generations of talented people who have brought the agency to where it is today. It is also a STATISTICS chance to celebrate what has remained consistent over time: the quality of our data, the dedication of our employees and most importantly, the value that we CANADA’S add to Canadians’ understanding of our society, environment and the economy.

  • Economics of Higher Education: Research Publications in English in Canada, 1971 to 1981*
    The Canadian Journal of Higher Education, Vol. XII-1, 1982 La revue canadienne d'enseignement supérieur, Vol. XII-1, 1982 Economics of Higher Education: Research Publications in English in Canada, 1971 to 1981* DAVID STAGERf ABSTRACT Research in the economics of education declined from the early 1970s to the end of the decade. American studies in the early 1960s had stimulated work on the contribution of education to economic growth and earnings differentials, but rapid expansion in post-secondary education led to declining relative earnings of graduates and a disillusionment with investment in higher education. In Canada, renegotiations of the Fiscal Arrangements Act in 1971-72 simply extended the 1967 provisions and dampened further interest in alternative financing arrange- ments. Topics researched in the 1970s in Canada were similar to those examined elsewhere: rates of return, institutional costs and efficiency, demand for educa- tion, income redistribution, alternative financing, manpower planning. Current work emphasizes enrolment flows. Future research should be directed to the demand for education and the relationship between education and earnings. RÉSUMÉ La recherche dans le domaine de l'économie de l'éducation a subi un déclin dans les années 1970. Au début des années 60, plusieurs études américaines avaient stimulé les travaux démontrant la contribution de l'éducation à la croissance économique et aux différences de revenus, mais l'expansion rapide de l'éducation supérieure a mené au rétrécissement relatif des écarts de revenus et au désenchante- ment envers l'éducation postsecondaire comme investissement. Au Canada, les renégociations de l'arrangement fiscal entre les gouvernements fédéral et provin- ciaux conclues en 1971-72 ne firent que prolonger les ententes de 1967 et éteindre l'intérêt pour la recherche de d'autres alternatives fiscales.
