Prof. Frank Denton

Frank Denton has made major contributions to our understanding of the Canadian economy and society. After graduation from the University of Toronto he worked at the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, where he was Director of the Econometric Research Staff. Since 1968 he has been Professor of Economics at McMaster University. He has written or contributed to twenty books and monographs, and sixty journal articles and research papers. His analysis of labour market behaviour and his work on
economic-demographic systems have brought him recognition both nationally and internationally as a leading researcher in the field. To him belongs much of the credit for the depth, detail, and comprehensiveness of current understanding of past, present and future trends of the population and labour force in Canada.
