3 GRADUATES IN THE ECONOMY17 1. HIGHLIGHTS Over the past 25 years, the rising level of skills sought by Ontario employers has led to a drop of 400,000 jobs for young adults (ages 25 to 34) without post-secondary credentials, offset by new jobs for those with credentials. The decreases have occurred in every sector. The largest percentage drops are in industries such as manufacturing, accommodation and food services. In leading advanced economies, employment rates for young adults without post-secondary education are now typically 25 percentage points lower than for post-secondary graduates. Measured on numbers of tertiary graduates only, Ontario ranks far above Europe and the United States. But when tradespersons are included, leading European countries score much higher. European leaders are pursuing improvements in the quality of training programs as defined by employers. These include apprenticeships, technology programs and, often, adult skills training. The goal is to boost employment, sustain high exports per capita (three to six times the U.S. level) and reduce inequality compared to the U.S. and to a lesser extent to Canada and Ontario. Asia is also quickly preparing for the digital economy. China, Japan, Korea and Indonesia alone have three times as many young adults with post-secondary credentials as does the U.S. Within North America, Ontario s skills are a key competitive advantage. While Ontario s apprenticeship program is modest by Canadian standards, it has three times as many college graduates (per capita) as the U.S. The Ontario graduates innovation and entrepreneurship contribute to exports per capita at twice the U.S. level. In Ontario, access to post-secondary education continues to be a challenge for underrepresented groups, including immigrants, indigenous peoples, and those with disabilities, resulting in lower employment prospects. In addition, Canada s record in providing employability skills training for adults with low literacy levels is worse than Nordic countries, and is lower than the U.S. Finally, employer-focused post-secondary education remains an excellent investment for both individuals and governments ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN COLLEGES ONTARIO Graduates in the Economy 2

Over the past quarter century, there has been considerable change in the educational attainment of Ontario s workforce, and that of many advanced economies. Rising employer expectations have especially impacted opportunities for young adults ages 25 to 34. Compared to 1990, there has been a drop of more than 400,000 jobs in Ontario for those without postsecondary credentials, with a slightly smaller increase in jobs for those who have completed at least one post-secondary credential ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN COLLEGES ONTARIO Graduates in the Economy 3

In contrast to Europe, Korea and Japan, the U.S. lags in this broader measure of post-secondary educational attainment, at 30th place. Moreover, both Europeans and North Americans must look to rapid changes in Asia. In comparison with the United States 10 million post-secondary graduates (ages 25 to 34), China now has 20 million graduates, and Japan, Korea and Indonesia together have nine million graduates ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN COLLEGES ONTARIO Graduates in the Economy 6

Ontario s educational attainment compares well with the U.S. average. However, there is huge variation by state. Massachusetts has a moderately high attainment rate by advanced-economy standards, with high levels of advanced degrees. Arkansas rate (31 per cent) is the lowest in the U.S., and is lower than Chile or Turkey (each at 39 per cent) and only modestly better than Mexico (21 per cent) or China (18 per cent) ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN COLLEGES ONTARIO Graduates in the Economy 7

Ontario s diploma and trades graduates play a critical role in export industries (manufacturing, resources and tourism), electric power generation and transmission, infrastructure, real estate, insurance and health care. A recent survey of more than 1,500 employers that employ 13.5 per cent of Ontario s workforce found that smaller firms (one to 19 employees) have the greatest need for two- or three-year college diplomas, followed by trades and four-year degrees. 3 The broader public sector (educational services, health and social services, and public administration) and the professional, scientific and technical services sector each employ twice the concentration of degrees as the private sector. 3 The Conference Board of Canada, The Need to Make Skills Work: The Cost of Ontario s Skills Gap, 2013, Page ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN COLLEGES ONTARIO Graduates in the Economy 11

Ontario s strong post-secondary education system enables every Ontario industry to employ a significantly more skilled workforce than its U.S. counterpart industry. For example, Ontario utilities employ 37 percentage points more post-secondary graduates. Ontario manufacturers employ 18 percentage points more, while Ontario information and cultural industries employ 17 percentage points more. In finance and insurance, companies employ 16 percentage points more post-secondary graduates ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN COLLEGES ONTARIO Graduates in the Economy 12

Educational attainment of entrepreneurs tends to vary by the size of the community: Typically, smaller communities rely more heavily on diploma and trades certificate holders. Toronto due to its concentration of specialized business services, head offices, postsecondary institutions and government has a high number of business owners who hold degrees.

Statistics Canada measures the number of firms that engage in product, process, organizational and marketing innovation. This is a far broader activity than research, and involves almost 300,000 firms in Ontario.

About two in five Canadian-born adults have only level two or lower levels of literacy and numeracy. Many of these individuals may experience difficulties in their careers. Adults from underrepresented groups are much more likely than Canadian-born adults to have lower levels of literacy and numeracy than are often required for effective participation in today s workforce. 4 At Level 2, in mathematics, for example, students can interpret and recognize situations in contexts that require no more than direct inference. They can extract relevant information from a single source and make use of a single representational mode. Students at this level can employ basic algorithms, formulae, procedures, or conventions.

20 6 RETURN ON INVESTMENTS IN POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION 6.1 Net benefits 1 for Canadians attaining tertiary 2 education, 2012 Women Men Private net benefit 9% 12% Public net benefit 6% 6% Note 1: Net benefits are calculated as an internal rate of return. Note 2: These data exclude OECD-defined post-secondary non-tertiary, i.e., post-secondary programs of one year or less, primarily apprenticeship programs, which are included in Statistics Canada post-secondary data. Source: Education at a Glance 2016: OECD Indicators, OECD Publishing, Paris. Tables A7.3a, A7.3b, A7.4a and A7.4b. The OECD states that 5 : Individuals completing tertiary education benefit from substantial returns on investment: they are more likely to be employed and earn more than individuals without tertiary education do. The public also benefits from a large proportion of tertiary-educated individuals through greater tax revenues and social contributions. For Canada as a whole, the OECD calculates that individuals receive roughly a 10 per cent rate of return while governments receive six per cent on their investments in post-secondary education. Another study concluded that Ontario college students receive an internal rate of return of 14 per cent for the time and money they invest in an education, while the Ontario government receives an internal rate of return of 20 per cent. A third study, focused on special programs for Ontario college students at risk, concluded that the returns to students and Ontario government, respectively, were 11 and 14 per cent for these programs alone. 5 Education at a Glance 2014: OECD Indicators, OECD Publishing, Paris, Page Economic Modeling Specialists Intl., Demonstrating the Value of the Ontario College Sector: Analysis of the Economic Impact and Return on Investment of Education, 2014, Page Deloitte, Breaking Down Barriers to Student Success: Expanding a High-Performance Workforce, 2012, Page ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN COLLEGES ONTARIO Graduates in the Economy 19
