Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While trade had slowed during the Second World War and the overruling Britain had suffered from the Sterling Crisis, the end of the war in 1945 and the full- convertibility of sterling arranged in 1947 meant an expansion of Newfoundland's fish market. [...] The history of women's work in Newfoundland and Labrador highlights how important women were to the sustenance of the family, and how these skills became devalued throughout the 20th Century. [...] While Murray (1979) found women were "more than 50%" of the labour force in Elliston in the 1950s, the Canadian Census of 1951 stated only 16% of women in Newfoundland and Labrador participated in the labour market (Statistics Canada, 1965: Table 1). [...] The Gender Wage Gap Women's traditional role as homemaker and their gradual introduction into the workforce is a common story across North America and the history of women's labour market participation in Newfoundland and Labrador has parallels with the history of women across the country. [...] Mulligan and Rubinstein (2008) found that the change in the composition of the female workforce, due to increased human capital investment, labour force attachment and women's self-selection into the labour force, from the late 1970s to the late 1990s, is responsible for women's relative wage growth.

Download or read book We Shall Persist written by Heidi MacDonald and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2023-04-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women in Atlantic Canada won the right to vote and to run for office only after long, vigorous, and exhausting campaigns for the Great Cause. We Shall Persist explores the distinctive political contexts and common problems characterizing these efforts. Despite uneven progress – and class and racial inequities within the movement itself – most nonindigenous women achieved enfranchisement following the First World War. This victory curbed the most blatant political misogyny and prepared the way for other rights, such as improved social assistance and access to birth control, marking a crucial step in the still-unfinished march toward full gender, race, and class equality.
