While Quebec was hit less severely than elsewhere by the last recession, it still faces significant economic challenges before the recession: the impending contraction of the pool of potential workers, collective wealth lower than that of its neighbours, too modest productivity growth, too high a dropout rate, etc. To meet the many challenges of economic growth, Quebec must be bold and innovative while building on its recent successes.

This book examines the various economic challenges facing Quebec today. In the first part, renowned university researchers and Quebec personalities present their point of view in an accessible way and contribute their thoughts on the factors that foster economic growth, from human capital to savings, innovation and the role of government.

With the help of some fifty thematic sheets containing the most relevant indicators, the second part provides readers with key figures to decipher the major trends in the Québec economy.
