- 58. Retention and recruitment of young skilled minority official language speakers in Canadian provincesArticles and reports: 36-28-0001202400600002Description: Retaining and recruiting young skilled workers are important for any community, but perhaps even more so for communities where the main language spoken is a minority official language.

Likewise, the article also looks at young postsecondary graduates who entered a province to work, as a share of that province’s initial population of homegrown young postsecondary graduates (termed “skill gain”).Release date: 2024-06-26
