This month’s review, entitled ‘‘A Decade Past: A Decade Hence,” takes a look at developments during the past ten years and attempts to outline the main features of further growth. Pointing out that the Cana- dian economy “1955 model” was very different from that of ten years ago, the review notes that, sincé the end of World War II, the population has jumped al- most 30 per cent, ‘‘an increase equivalent to five cities the size of Toronto,” and the physical volume of national output bas risen by more than a third. A .supplement accompanying the review features a chart, which shows that, by 1965, the Population may be expected to to such far-flung places as South| increase by 22 per cent over Africa, Hawaii, Australia, last year, while gross national Zealand and Burope. He product might rise by 38 per graduate of the University of | cent. The B of M. sees the almost uninterrupted expansion in the annual volume of capital expen- diture on new plant, equipment and housing as having been the most dynamic ftoree behind Can- ada’s postwar growth. Of the nual supply of gooda and ser- vices available in Canada, “the proportion used for the creation of new physical assets has risen from 11.4 per cent in 1946 to a 1955 figure of 18.5 per cent.” The natural resources that Can- Memorial Hospital last Friday for surgery.

It adds, how- ever, that this declining trend may not continue at the same rate during the next decade. The expected expansion in exports of minerals and the tendecy of overseas countries to reduce their restrictions against im- ports from dollar countries should benefit Canada’s external trade in the future. CHANGING POPULATION TRENDS Tracing the growth of Cana- da’s-population during the post war period, the B of M. oberves that the relative prosperity of the Canadian economy has not only attracted immigrants at the rate of 117,000 a year, “it has also induced people to marry at a younger age, to have children at an earlier stage of marriage and to have an increasing num- ber of children per family.” Since 1946, the number of births recorded in Canada has risen from 330,000 to 440,000 a year. However, the review points out, “the very factors that have brought about a rise in the birth-rate in recent years snould logicallly lead to a decline in the {To join the Navy y “hee the Special “WILLIAMS LAKE RANCH HOTEL February 8 | | !

The rising proportion of people now marrying before age 20 im- plies a smaller proportion mar- rying in the ‘over 20’ group in a few years’ time, and the ten- dency to have children in the early years of marriage may mean that fewer children are born in-later years . . .” Moreover, the marked econ- omic resurgence in Western Europe might well have its eifect upon the desire of people there to immigrate to Canada. “The rate of increase in the Canadian population could, therfore, be somewhat less in the next ten years than it has been in the postwar decade. EMPLOYMENT PROSPEOTS “Nevertheless the review states, ‘the changes that have taken place in the past hold im- portant implications for the lat- ter half of the next decade.” In the early 1960’s, the civilian la- bor force may be expected to grow at a considrably faster rate as the children born during the high birth-rate period of the late 1940’s begin entering the work- ing age groups. “Where will these. prospec= tive new entrants find employ- ment?” the B of M asks. Much of the increase in the working © force in the postwar period has been absorbed in the provision — of services — financial, com- mercial, personal and govern- ment. In all likelihood, the re- view states, the services sector will continue to absorb a major proportion of the growing labor foree. “It may further be ex~ pected that more pople will be working in the resource indus- tries, in manufacturing and in construction. “Indeed, with the annual ad- dition to the labor force prom- . ising to be no greater in the Manufactured By S & R V | C r se eee Ena BRITISH ROP ES 8000 square feet of shop space I Canada’s Navy, There's of fine 1. career now open to you in the RCN! tive shortage of labor until the early 1960’s that would be re- lieved only by a further signi- ficant shift out of agriculture into other occupations. “The achievemnts of the post- war decade,” the review con- cludes, “have labelled Canada as a land of exceptional growth CANADIAN FACTORY LIMITED for your mechanical body work ae ae ee that, in the second postwar decade, growth, with its attend- ant benefits and problems, will continue to.be the hallmark of the Canadian economy.” delivery _ VANCOUVER B.C.
