Abstract

Le présent document traite de la croissance du capital humain dans les villes canadiennes et américaines. À l'aide de données regroupées sur 242 centres urbains provenant de recensements de la population, nous évaluons le lien entre la croissance de long terme de l'emploi et l'offre de divers types de main d'oeuvre spécialisée. L'étude vise aussi à déterminer si les attraits urbains, tels que l'importance du secteur culturel local, exerce une influence sur les capacités scientifiques des villes. Dans la première partie de l'étude, nous étudions la contribution de catégories générales et spécialisées du capital humain à la croissance de long terme de l'emploi. Nous faisons la distinction entre l'ensemble des diplômés occupés (une mesure générale du capital humain) et les diplômés occupés dans les secteurs des sciences et de la culture (mesures spécifiques du capital humain). Nos modèles de croissance examinent les variations de long terme de l'emploi urbain de 1980 à 2000, et tiennent compte de l'effet d'autres facteurs dont l'influence sur la croissance des villes a été postulée. Ces facteurs incluent des estimations des attraits urbains qui servent de mesures indirectes des différences d'attraits entre les régions urbaines. Dans la deuxième partie de l'étude, nous nous concentrons sur un type particulier de capital humain, à savoir les diplômés occupés dans les professions en sciences et en génie. Nos modèles évaluent les facteurs associés à la croissance de moyen et de long terme de ces professions. Nous nous efforçons tout spécialement de débrouiller la relation entre la croissance de l'emploi en sciences
