Going back to the notion of demographic dividend, when any nation, any economy has access to a growing, young workforce, if you engage them through training and educational opportunities and get them into the workplace, that's decades of advantage to the economy.
Leave them on the sidelines and we know what has happened in a number of developing nations where there is a young workforce that never got to participate. Canada faces those same challenges on a microscale.
The programs are there. Now we need jobs. There are training opportunities. There are educational opportunities extended through both provincial and federal programs. If those don't translate into jobs, then these young workers will be sitting on the other side of the fence looking in.
