      “Le Conference Board du Canada juge que le Canada s’enlise dans la médiocrité en raison de son manque d’innovation dans plusieurs domaines socio-économiques.

      Le Conference Board du Canada est une association regroupant 600 membres du monde des affaires. Dans son rapport publié ce mercredi, le rendement du Canada est comparé à celui de 16 autres pays industrialisés dans six domaines d’activité.

      Pour tenter de demeurer compétitive, l’économie du Canada se fie beaucoup sur ses ressources naturelles et pas assez sur son secteur des biens et services.

      Le Conference Board constate une pénurie de main d’oeuvre qualifiée, notamment dans les domaines des sciences, de l’ingénierie et du commerce.

      Le rapport du Conference Board reconnaît que la qualité de l’air et de l’eau est bonne au pays, mais soutient que la gestion des déchets et la lutte aux changements climatiques sont pauvres.

      Seule l’éducation trouve grâce aux yeux de l’association, avec une note A qui récompense la formation de nombreux diplômés de niveau post-secondaire.

      Le Canada obtient un B pour son économie, ses services sociaux et la santé. L’innovation et l’environnement ne recueillent qu’un D.”

      Acho engraçado eles chegarem à conclusão de que há “une pénurie de main d’oeuvre qualifiée“!!!

      Porque será que há essa deficiência hein?!   :hmm: eles deviam agora é chegar à conclusão de que devem desburocratizar mais os processos de reconhecimento de diplomas. Assim eles não teriam deficiência de mão-de-obra!  :furious:

      “Canada: A land of mediocrity
      HEATHER SCOFFIELD

      From Wednesday’s Globe and Mail

      June 13, 2007 at 5:00 AM EDT

      Canada’s failure to innovate is spilling over into the economy, environmental protection, health care, education, and poverty eradication – turning the country into a land of stifling mediocrity, according to a harsh new report card from the Conference Board of Canada.

      “This country is doing dismally in the critically important area of innovation,” writes the board’s president, Anne Golden. “And the implications of that failure … show up in the absence of creative policy and investment decisions across all the other domains.”

      The report card, to be released today, compares Canada’s performance in six domains to that of 16 other industrialized countries. The only area in which Canada receives an A is education, mainly because the country is good at pumping large quantities of students through to postsecondary institutions.

      But even in education, Canada falters when it comes to producing highly educated professionals who spawn creativity, the report says.
      At the other end of the spectrum, Canada’s low levels of literacy are “shocking,” and prevent workers from functioning efficiently and competently in the labour force, the report says. As well, employer investment in training is falling.

      In the economy, health and society domains, Canada gets a B – although lack of innovation is impeding progress.

      In economics, Canada gets top marks for low inflation, and does well in growth, labour productivity and unemployment.

      It gets low marks, however, for its ability to attract foreign direct investment, which often brings in fresh ideas, more investment, advanced technology and entrepreneurial ideas.

      In health care, Canada does well at saving people from the flu and pneumonia, but performance on infant mortality and death from diabetes is weak.

      Since Canada’s health-care system is geared toward resolving urgent needs, little innovative thinking is done on how to prevent illness, the report says. Canada ranks 10th out of 17 in the “society” domain, mainly because of subpar rankings on poverty among children and the working-age population.

      It ranks well in reducing poverty among old people.

      But Canada fares miserably in the areas of innovation and environment, earning a D grade in both categories.

      While Canada’s air and water quality are high, and protection of biodiversity is solid, our level of waste generation and our battle to curb climate change are rock bottom, the report says.

      Again, the lack of creative thinking to solve these problems slows progress, Ms. Golden said. And so it’s no surprise that in the innovation category, Canada ranks 14th out of 17 countries – “an alarming portent for the future.”

      Canada’s scientists don’t keep up with their global peers in the number of articles published, and its inventors don’t keep up in the number of patents, the report shows. For its competitive advantage, it relies on natural resources, and adds little value to goods or services. Canada has a shortage of skilled labour and graduates a low share of science, engineering and trades experts.

      The country doesn’t take advantage of high technology, or keep up in the commercialization of knowledge.

      “Canadians are complacent and generally unwilling to take risks,” the report scolds. “This culture holds Canada back.”

      How does the country move forward? Conference Board has 10 suggestions

      In a report to be released today on the ranking of Canada’s economy among those of 16 other nations, the Conference Board of Canada pulls no punches in its harsh assessment of the country’s performance, but also offers solutions.

      Here are 10 things the board says Canada could do to rid itself of mediocrity:

      1) Focus investments on commercialization.

      2) Promote cross-border investment flows.

      3) Cut taxes on capital investment.

      4) Cut red tape.

      5) Set up a cap-and-trade system to put a price on emissions.

      6) Recognize immigrants’ credentials.

      7) Finance a handful of world-class universities.

      8) Teach all adults to read well.

      9) Fund health promotion.

      10) Spend more on social programs for children and poor workers.

      Oi pessoal.
      Sem querer desde já falar em preconceito, pois ainda sou uma “aprendiz”, me parece que os desfavorecidos na sociedade canadense são justamente os imigrantes (“children and the working-age population), que sofrem com a pobreza e com o sistema de saúde (prevenção e atendimento).
      Isso deve explicar as sugestões do Conference Board of Canada de:

      6) Recognize immigrants’ credentials.

      9) Fund health promotion.

      10) Spend more on social programs for children and poor workers.

      Até mais!

      Durante a palestra em campinas ontem (13/06/07) um video feito por um reporter brasileiro que entrevistou brasileiros recem chegados e veteranos, uma curitibana fez a migração do diploma sem maiores problemas (ELA É FORMADA EM EMNGENHARIA E EXERCE A PROFISSÃO ).

      Pequeno detalhe: ela não preisou fazer nenhuma outra materia para equivalencia !

      Segundo a Sra. Soraya, (ela não deu 100% certeza) a ordem dos Eng. leva em considerção também a UNIVERSIDADE.

      Por exemplo: uma USP, PUC, UNICAMP, UFRJ, e assim vai…isso está com um peso consideravel. a brasileira (Curitibana) começou a fazer a migração do diploma durante a fase federal (se eu não me engano).

      Vão a palestra,  e confirmem essa questão vendo o video…é util e animador.

      Abraços
