Government, and media are in a unique position to help NSIEC create a diverse and inclusive labour force.

Canada could increase its labour force by an estimated 1.7 million workers by eliminating barriers facing underrepresented groups looking to enter the workforce. This includes women, older people, people with disabilities, and Indigenous and racialized peoples. The increase in hours worked, and labour force participation would increase average real GDP growth by 0.7-0.8 percent annually, lifting the annual trend pace of economic growth by 50 percent.
