How has the economy of canada changed?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The service sector jobs that have increased in importance differ in some significant respects from traditional manufacturing jobs. Service industries have a higher incidence of part-time and temporary workers, rely more on unpaid overtime and make greater use of flexible work arrangements. At the same time, the proportion of workers with at least a university degree is, on average, higher in services than in manufacturing, suggesting that work is becoming more knowledge-intensive. An examination of labour shifts alongside a previous analysis that used Census data to determine the knowledge intensity of different industries indicates that structural change is indeed supporting Canada's evolution towards a knowledge-based economy

A decomposition of labour compensation growth over 1976–79 to 2001–05 resulted in findings that were generally similar to those derived from the shift-share analysis of productivity growth.

Describe TWO characteristics of limestone which make it susceptible to chemical weathering​
NeTakaya

Answer:

Limestone areas are predominantly affected by chemical weathering when rainwater, which contains a weak carbonic acid, reacts with limestone. This causes the limestone to dissolve. Carbon dioxide from the respiration of animals (and ourselves) is one cause of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

14. Which of the following is likely the biggest threat to the existence of the European
8090 [49]

Answer:

Average life expectancy in most European countries extends well past the age of retirement.

Explanation:

The European Union, or at least most of its members, tend to have relatively good welfare systems. This is the case because of the strong economies of the countries but also because it helps the population, which in turn tends to have positive effects. Some countries are even targeted for migration just because of their generous welfare system.

This situation is very likely to change though as there is a very big chance that the economies of the European countries will not be able to sustain the welfare systems that they currently have. The main reason for this is that the population is aging. With the population becoming older and older, there are more and more people that rely on the welfare system, creating a disbalance in its functioning. On top of that, life expectancy is high and is gradually increasing, meaning that not just more people will rely on the welfare system but also for a longer period of time.
