Occupational Implications of Microelectronic-Based Technical Change: A Multisectoral Study for Canada

Thomas McCurdy

Working Paper from Economics Department, Queen's University

Abstract: This paper computes the occupational shifts required to accommodate structural change initiated by microelectronic-based technical change (MTC) in Canada. Occupational shifts are decomposed into supply side versus those induced by final demand changes. The results are presented for an historical period, for the reference and counterfactual (no MTC) path to 1990, and for two alternative 1990 post technical change solutions.
