Making EI Work: Research from the Mowat Centre Employment Insurance Task Force

0/5 ( ratings)

Since the inception and design of Canada's Employment Insurance program, the Canadian economy and labour market have undergone dramatic changes. It is clear that EI has not kept pace with those changes, and experts and advocates agree that the program is no longer effective or equitable. Making EI Work is the result of a panel of distinguished scholars gathered by the Mowat Centre Employment Insurance Task Force to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, and future directions of EI. The authors identify the strengths and weaknesses of the system, and consider how it could be improved to better and more fairly support those in need. They make suggestions for facilitating a more efficient Canadian labour market, and meeting the human capital requirements of a dynamic economy for the present and the foreseeable future. The chapters that comprise Making EI Work informed the task force's final recommendations, and form an engaging dialogue that makes the case for, and defines the parameters of, a reformed support system for Canada's unemployed. Contributors include Ken Battle , Robin Boadway , Allison Bramwell , Sujit Choudhry , Kathleen M. Day , Ross Finnie , Jean-Denis Garon , David Gray , Morley Gunderson , Ian Irvine , Stephen Jones , Thomas R. Klassen , Michael Mendelson , Alain Noël , Michael Pal , W. Craig Riddell , William Scarth , Luc Turgeon , Leah F. Vosko , Stanley L. Winer , Donna E. Wood , and Yan Zhang .
