| Summary: | This Selected Issues paper reviews the factors that may explain high and persistent unemployment in Canada, with particular emphasis on the role that a decline in the relative cost of capital may have had on trend unemployment.

The paper also analyzes recent trends in personal saving in Canada and macroeconomic effects of the government debt. |
