A new international idea called "active manpower policy" was introduced in Canada in the 1950s. It involved a stronger government role in labour market adjustment counselling, training and support for mobility. Innovative as well as traditional forms of direct job creation and community action were introduced again, for the first time since the Depression of the 1930s.

OBS

C'est dans les années 1950 qu'est apparue, au Canada, la nouvelle notion internationale dite «politique de main-d'œuvre active» : elle réservait un rôle accru au gouvernement dans les secteurs de l'adaptation au marché du travail, du counselling, de la formation et de l'aide à la mobilité. Pour la première fois depuis la Dépression des années 1930, on eut alors recours à des mesures tant novatrices que traditionnelles dans le domaine de la création directe d'emplois et de l'action communautaire.
