A1.9. WHAT WILL BE THE BENEFITS TO CANADA FOR ACHIEVING FULL EMPLOYMENT?

 

Again, the comments below apply as much to the NCR in particular as to Canada as a whole.

 

-       Reduction or even elimination of social unrest

-       Full employment means optimal tax revenue production, based on everybody contributing who wants and/or needs to work

-       Less money needed for social programs relative to tax revenues produced, because the need for social programs will be less - based on everybody who wants / needs / a job actually having one, meaning (a) as many hours of work as desired and (b) hourly earnings commensurate with education and qualifications.

-       Less money needed for social programs relative to available tax revenues will free up resources for other publicly funded programs such as health care, education, national defence, natural disaster relief, postal services etc.
