Each year CIRANO identifies a theme that will structure part of the scientific animation. The theme chosen for 2021-2022 is « Skills and the Labour Market». This theme will explore certain issues of the labour market, highlighting the effects of the crisis of the COVID-19 such as the need to support workers who have lost their jobs but also opportunities that may arise in this crisis such as the transformation of workplaces. Issues around labor market analysis, labor shortages, labor productivity, worker skills (upgrading or reskilling), numeracy levels, new forms of work, or major changes in the labor market due to the health crisis will be studied by our researchers. Organizational models are being disrupted and corporate culture is being shaken up, especially by the adoption of massive telecommuting. Today's challenges are numerous and complex. All organizations, both public and private, need to collaborate and exchange to better prepare for the challenges of the future.
Under the aegis of the principal investigators of the «Skills» major theme, several activities and conferences will be organized. Two webinars are already on the agenda this fall:
The various CIRANO products, the Québec économique, the CIRANO Barometer and Mondo.international will also take on the colors of this theme.

| RESEARCH AT CIRANO |

A new CIRANO study establishes a clear link between numeracy skills and workers' earnings in Quebec.
Two CIRANO researchers and professors at ESG UQAM, Raquel Fonseca and Catherine Haeck, along with Marie-Mélanie Fontaine (UQAM), have just published a study that estimates the relationship between numeracy skills measured in adulthood and workers' earnings in Quebec. The results suggest that for active workers in the Quebec population, a one standard deviation increase in numeracy skills is associated with an average 21% increase in salary. This research was conducted as part of the En Avant Math!
