The schools are viewed as helping students discover jobs matched to their abilities, and policy prescriptions are offered from that standpoint. After examining earlier economic models of education - seeing it in terms of human capital and signalling - the authors analyse their informational model. In the light of the three theories of education, they then proceed to examine the appropriate role of government in the education market, and offer their policy recommendations. In addition, trends in the structure of education over the last two decades are studied and explained from the economic point of view. They argue that too much has been spent on formal education and not enough on on-the-job-training, but the answer is not more government intervention or vocationalism. Education policy should encourage free choice and an increasing ability to match interests or skills with jobs. Vocationalism merely hinders the latter and endangers economic well-being in the long term. 410 0$aOntario Economic Council research studies ;$v29. 606 $aEducation and state$zCanada 606 $aBusiness and education$zCanada 606 $aManpower policy$zCanada 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation and state 615 0$aBusiness and education 615 0$aManpower policy 676 $a379.1540971 700 $aDavies$b James B.$f1951-$0921008 702 $aMacDonald$b Glenn M.$f1952- 712 02$aOntario Economic Council, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149200503321 996 $aInformation in the labour market$92065730 997 $aUNINA
