Abstract
Since the late 1970s thousands of Canadians have experienced the volatility of markets and industries once thought to be stable sources of work and income. Many analysts suggest that rapidly fluctuating demand in domestic and global markets can no longer be met within the context of mass production and the institutional relations associated with postwar Fordism and Keynesianism. Computer technology, knowledge-based production and flexible forms of organization, they argue, signal the arrival of a new techno-economic paradigm.. The effects and significance of these shifts for workers, firms and communities in Canada are uneven.J For many it means dislocations, lay-offs, casualization, lower wages and poorer working conditions, while for some it means improved job opportunities and increased salaries.
