New Labour Market Information: Youth Employment in Tourism in Canada
It
is widely known that the tourism sector provides more than its share of
employment opportunities for youth, including part time or seasonal
work for students, many peoples' first introduction to the world of
work, and entry level positions that lead to fulfilling careers as
tomorrow's tourism industry leaders.
Some
very interesting recent data from the Human Resource Module of the
Tourism Satellite Account, 2012, on youth employment in the tourism
sector in Canada:
More
than half a million tourism jobs (538,000) are held by youth. This is
36% of all tourism jobs, which is slightly fewer (-2%) than in 2008. The
slack was picked up by workers aged 45 and older. Since 2008, the
number of tourism jobs held by older workers has increased 44,500 (11%),
while there are 1,000 fewer jobs held by youth.
Almost
three-quarters (72%) of tourism employees aged 15-24 are employed in
food and beverage services, so the largest "youth" occupations are food
counter attendants, food and beverage servers, and cooks, followed by
program leaders and hosts/hostesses. The top three occupations comprise
55% of ALL youth employment in the tourism sector, while the top five
represent 64%.
Produced by Statistics Canada, the
Human Resource Module of the Tourism Satellite Account is emulated by
countries around the world. It is the first of its kind, globally, and
is unique in measuring and reconciling data on the number of tourism
jobs in relation to the economy as a whole nationally and, for the first
time ever, in each province and territory. It also offer valuable
information about job characteristics in the Canadian tourism sector.
