The gist of it: with each passing decade there’s a growing shortage of construction laborers, resulting in large wait times for housing to be built. Some analysts wonder why the key demographic isn’t showing up.

I’ve seen a few articles in the past few years about young men supposedly checking out of society and work, I wonder if there is a connection between that and this article here because young men tend to be the prime demographic for working this job.

Companies need to pay their workers better.

    The issue is the culture

    You can say that again…

    Especially where I’m from, there’s a lot of corruption in construction. A lot of them will steal stuff and not even feel bad about it, proud even.

    And this corruption goes all the way to the top at the provincial government level.
