Organizational, Social and Demographic Change in the Canadian Forces

Abstract

As with the Canadian labour force, the composition of the Canadian Forces (CF) has changed over the last 20 years. This has largely been the result of socio-demographic and economic trends, as well as downsizing initiatives taken in the 1990s. The overall organizational structure of the CF, albeit reduced, still resembles that of a quarter of a century ago, but the demographic profile of serving members and their families has changed considerably. The purpose of this paper is to report on organizational, social and demographic changes in the Canadian Regular Force, focusing on 1976 to 1996. Implications of these changes are also identified.
