September 10, 2019 – Large numbers of Canadian workers have skills mismatched to their jobs, and the problem looks set to worsen in face of technological changes and aging demographics, says a new report from the C.D. Howe Institute.
In “Bad Fits: The Causes, Extent and Costs of Job Skills Mismatch in Canada,” author Parisa Mahboubi notes about 13 percent of Canadian workers are either over- or under-skilled for their job in terms of literacy, numeracy and problem-solving, with about half fitting into each category.
