"Having projected the composition of the population of the province of Quebec for the years 2011 and 2031 with respect to level of education, the author suggests ways in which an increase in the overall level of scholastic attainment could help Quebec meet the challenge of an aging population.

Such a population would cost less in terms of health care and could, if needed, remain in the labor force past retirement age." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)
