Canadian standards of living: a serious challenge

Article Abstract:

The Economic Council of Canada's report 'Pulling Together' identifies productivity growth as the key factor that shall determine if Canadians are to enjoy continued real income growth in the future. The report also identifies other factors that could hinder Canada's ability to guarantee steadily improving living standards in the future. These factors include the reluctance of Canadian decision makers to alter their attitudes regarding the adoption of new production and management systems in the face of the rapid tranformation of the international economy; the failure to maintain Canadian labor costs at a competitive level; and the stubborn refusal of government, labor and business to coordinate their efforts to enable Canada to hurdle the economic problems that beset it.
