Through is recommendations, the National Advisory Council on Aging (NACA) aims to achieve a more appropriate utilization of health care technology to produce optimum health outcomes, especially for seniors, and to control health care costs. The first section of this report examines the use of assistive technologies to support seniors with disabilities. In Sections 2, 3 and 4, issues related to the assessment, adoption and utilization of technologies in the health care system are reviewed, especially as they affect seniors. Finally, Section 5 considers the computerization of health service delivery as a means to improve the quality of health care for seniors, and indeed, for the entire Canadian population.

This report examines a threat to both the overall cost & the fairness of health care in Canada: the highly variable & growing personal expenditures across the country for services not insured by the Canada Health Act. It assesses the health & financial burden to seniors in the areas of home care, medication, long-term residential care, and other health expenses, and describes the wide variations across Canada in the access that seniors have to public coverage and in the level of costs levied for services. The report also proposes a more equitable system, compares different models of health care service financing, explores political & financial feasibility and social justice aspects of the proposal, and makes recommendations for the planned & gradual implementation of a health care system offering a complete range of services.

The negative and stable relationship between an economy’s aggregate demand conditions and overall unemployment is well-documented. We show that there is a large degree of heterogeneity in the cyclical sensitivities of unemployment across worker and economy groups. First, unemployment is more than twice as sensitive to aggregate demand in advanced as in emerging market and developing economies. Second, youth’s unemployment is twice as sensitive as that of adults’. Third, women’s unemployment is significantly less sensitive to demand than men’s in advanced economies. These findings point to the highly unequal impacts of the business cycle across worker and economy groups.

"Innovation and entrepreneurship are ubiquitous today, both as fields of study and as starting points for conversations among experts in government and economic development. But while these areas on continue to attract public and private investments, many measurements of their resulting economic growth-including productivity growth and business dynamism-have remained modest. Why this difference? Because not all business sectors are the same, and the transformative gains of some industries have been offset by stagnation or contraction in others. Accordingly, a nuanced understanding of the economy requires a nuanced understanding of where innovation and entrepreneurship occur and where they matter. Answering these questions allows for strategic public investment and the infrastructure for economic growth.The Role of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Economic Growth, the latest entry in the NBER conference series, seeks to codify these answers. The editors leverage industry studies to identify specific examples of productivity improvements enabled by innovation and entrepreneurship, including those from new production technologies, increased competition, new organizational forms, and other means. Taken together, the volume illuminates whether the contribution of innovation and entrepreneurship to economic growth is likely to be concentrated, be it selected sectors or more broadly"--
