Abstract	"Abstract This study asks whether recent immigrants and Canadian-born youth have become increasingly overeducated for their jobs because of changes in the supply of university-educated workers and demand for their human capital. Based on analyses of four Canadian censuses, the study found that over the 2001?2016 period, only about one-half of the growth in the supply of university-educated workers was matched with growth in jobs that required a university degree. Recent immigrants bore most of the brunt of this structural imbalance, becoming more concentrated in low- and medium-skill jobs. In comparison, the prevalence of education-occupation match of young Canadian-born workers increased over this period. Consequently, the gap in overeducation between these population groups has widened. To address this gap, immigration policy should use a tandem process that selects immigrants based on human capital and demand-driven criteria."
