Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the period since the Second World War there has been both a massive influx of women into the Canadian job market and substantive changes to the welfare state as early expansion gave way, by the 1970s, to a prolonged period of retrenchment and restructuring. Through a detailed historical account of the Unemployment Insurance (UI) program from 1945 to 1997, Ann Porter demonstrates how gender was central both to the construction of the post-war welfare state, as well as to its subsequent crisis and restructuring. Drawing on a wide range of sources (including archival material, UI administrative tribunal decisions, and documents from the government, labour and women's groups) she examines the implications of restructuring for women's equality, as well as how women's groups, labour and the state interacted in efforts to shape the policy agenda. Porter argues that, while the post-war welfare state model was based on a family with a single male breadwinner, the new model is one that assumes multiple family earners and encourages employability for both men and women. The result has been greater formal equality for women, but at the same time the restructuring and reduction of benefits have undermined these gains and made women's lives increasingly difficult. Using concepts from political economy, feminism, and public policy, this study will be of interest across a range of disciplines.

Download or read book State Class and Bureaucracy written by Leslie Alexander Pal and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1988 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent explanations of public policy have increasingly focused on "state-centred" theories which emphasize internal state dynamics, as opposed to "society-centred" theories which concentrate on external forces such as interest group pressure. State, Class, and Bureaucracy assesses the fruitfulness of these approaches by comparing neo-Marxist and neo-pluralist explanations (society-centred) with explanations that emphasize the effects of bureaucracy and federalism (state-centred). Unemployment insurance (UI) was chosen as a case study because of its importance to employer and employee groups; if any program or policy is susceptible to a society-centred explanation, UI should be.

Download or read book Rebuilding From Within written by Rotstein, Abraham and published by Lorimer. This book was released on 1984-01-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, written in 1984, the author discusses problems and weaknesses in Canada's economy and offers solutions for improving in the future. Skeptical of the benefits of free trade proposals and deeply critical of the effects of monetarism, the author proposes an alternative vision of the nation's development. Rotstein outlines the sorts of industrial policies that Canada must have in a "balanced portfolio" to better exploit the domestic market and survive in a changing global marketplace. Rebuilding from Within is a clear-headed response to the economic upheavals experienced in Canada in the early 1980s.
