Halifax Partnership and Halifax Index

young adults: The Halifax Index 2015 offers a snapshot of the city population, labour force, business climate and quality of living, according to The Chronicle Herald. The main message of the report focuses on finding jobs for the thousands of university and college graduates every year to stem the flow of young adults outside the province. The Halifax Partnership will release Thursday its latest report card on Halifax economic and community progress. The number of international students studying in Halifax grew to its highest level ever in the 2013-14 school year, roughly doubling in five years, the report said. Youth out-migration has been a problem for generations, Morley said in an interview Wednesday. Fred Morley, Halifax Partnership executive vice-president and chief economist, said stopping the out-migration of young people would double the province gross domestic product growth rate and make Nova Scotia the fastest-growing province in the country.
