Statistics Canada has announced the release of three major datasets with relevance to postsecondary education. The new Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program data tables now include data from 1990 to 2023. These tables detail the educational attainment and labour market outcomes of the 25-to-64-year-old population in Canada. The results of the National Graduates Survey (NGS) for the class of 2015 are also now available. This dataset includes information on postsecondary graduate demographics, work-integrated learning participation, and labour market outcomes. The third is a new fact sheet outlining trends in the proportion of youth not in employment, education, or training (NEET) for 2023/24. This fact sheet highlights the connection between NEET trends and changes in the Canadian labour market, before discussing trends in NEET rates by various different demographic groups.
