Graduates in the Economy 18. Environmental Scan 2018
Colleges Ontario
This report shares data in the following categories as they relate to graduates in Ontario's economy: (1) Number of jobs for young adults without post-secondary credentials; (2) Matching credentials to employer needs: an international comparison; (3) Matching credentials to employer needs: industry, entrepreneurship, and innovation; (4) Access to post-secondary education in Ontario; and (5) Return on investments in post-secondary education. Among the highlighted findings are: (1) Over the past 25 years, rising Ontario employer skill requirements have led to an increase of over 900,000 more jobs for adults aged 25 to 44 with post-secondary credentials, largely offset by a drop of 700,000 jobs for those without post-secondary credentials; (2) Every sector now employs fewer young adults without post-secondary credentials; (3) Ontario's experience is consistent with other jurisdictions: employment rates for young adults without postsecondary education are now typically at least 25 percentage points lower than for post-secondary graduates; (4) Within North America, Ontario has three times as many college graduates as the U.S., per capita; and (5) Ontario's skills advantage is weakening. China, Japan, Korea and Indonesia now have three times as many young adults with post-secondary credentials as does the U.S.
