<p> This thesis examines the influence of size and
ownership of plants on the employment characteristics and
locational behaviour of plants. The variables utilized
to attain this objective were: foreign and Canadian-owned
plants; single and multi-plants; plant, office and executive
employment; location of plants within Toronto Census
Metropolitan Area; and location of plants among aggregated
areas in Ontario. Two methods were used in analysing the
data. First, the mean of plant and employment data were
obtained to provide employment characteristics. Second,
regression analysis was performed to obtain in what areas
there was a growth or decline of plants and employment. </p> <p> The result of the study show that foreign-owned
plants employ a greater proportion of unskilled labour and
are growing in reletively rural areas. On the other hand,
single plants employ a greater proportion of executives
and are growing within the outskirts of the Toronto Census
Metropolitan Area. </p> / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA)
