Employment in the Service Economy
註釋This report is concerned with the nature of the service economy. It looks at conceptual issues associated with services, the factors which have traditionally distinguished service activity from the production of goods, and how innovations in technology and industrial organization are altering these orthodox distinctions. It focuses on explanations for the rapid expansions of the service sector, and documents the shift from goods to services. It also examines the issue of nonstandard employment in Canada, and focuses on the skill content of jobs. In addition, it addresses the relationship between human capital and employment outcomes, and Canada's capacity for developing human resources. It reports the results of a major Economic Council study of income distribution trends. Finally, it presents conclusions and policy implications.
