Youth across The Municipality of York are encouraged to complete a youth career survey that is part of the Region’s Aging Workforce Study.

Over the next five to 10 years, aging baby boomers will be retiring in record numbers.  Employers need to plan for organizational knowledge loss and labour supply shortages as boomers exit the workforce and youth enter.

The Aging Workforce Study will assess the economic impact of the aging workforce on employers.

The study includes three surveys:

    * The youth career survey to identify workforce supply closes November 30th.

    * The boomer retirement survey to forecast retirement trends, including older workers who plan to pursue second careers after retiring, will commence this week and run until December 20th. 

    * The employer workforce survey to identify workforce needs will commence in January, 2010 and conclude February 28th.
