Abstract	This study, in English and French, analyzes the trends emerging in labor demand and supply in Canada, and examines the challenges to preparing an adequately trained and prepared workforce. The economy and the labor force seem to be developing along divergent paths, creating a potential gap between the flexibility and skills of workers and the skills demanded by the economy. Canadian industry is making significant capital investments in the technology, equipment, and machinery required to compete in a global market but is neglecting to invest in the education and employee training and skills needed to benefit from technology. Such human investment is essential to help workers and their employers respond to new economic conditions that are transforming the kinds of jobs available. At the same time, the labor force is becoming older and less adaptable to change. Young people looking for jobs will need a higher level of basic and entry-level skills and the existing workforce must absorb new demands for skills and work patterns. Even greater effort will be required to provide educational and employment opportunities for women, older workers, aboriginal peoples, visible minorities, and the disabled. Statistical data are included on 1 table and 11 graphs. A list of 53 references is appended. (FMW)
