Is this really concerning or does it just reflect more and longer formal schooling of young people? I believe these trends are similar across other Western countries and have been reported for decades.
How accurate are the statistics? I am afraid as far as youth employment is concerned the blind spots maybe huge. E.g. youth employment spells are maybe short, they may occur in family related businesses etc. etc.
"... Extensive evidence shows that delayed and weak attachment to the workforce for young Canadians, both in the short- and long-term trends, can create lifelong scarring on labour market outcomes. These trends are concerning and should be the subject of additional monitoring and research going forward."
