Abstract.  This paper studies the direct impact of labour force ageing on productivity growth in 10 Canadian provinces over the period 1981–2001, with an outlook to 2046. It shows that older workers are, on average, less productive than younger workers and that labour force ageing has a modest negative direct impact on productivity growth in Canada. The impact has increased since the middle of the 1990s, will peak in 2001–11, and tail off afterwards. During the peak period, productivity growth in Canada will be reduced by 0.13 to 0.23 percentage points per year, with Newfoundland being hit the hardest. JEL classification: J21, O47

This report provides an overview of the numbers of armed forces children at national and local authority level, together with a review of how some authorities have responded to the needs of this part of the pupil population. It therefore marks a start point in explaining how Scotland as a whole and individual Councils are meeting the expectations of the Covenant and the associated responsibilities envisaged by statute. The rationale for this report is that over the years, much has been learned about the nature of the armed forces children's population in Scotland. The time is now right to bring that information together to identify where there are gaps in our knowledge, to create questions and to make recommendations to guide the next stages of development.
