Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this edited collection, Leslie Nichols weaves together the contributions of accomplished and diverse scholars to offer an expansive and critical analysis of women’s work in Canada. Students will use an intersectional approach to explore issues of gender, class, race, immigrant status, disability, sexual orientation, Indigeneity, age, and ethnicity in relation to employment. Drawing from case studies and extensive research, the text’s eighteen chapters consider Canadian industries across a broad spectrum, including political, academic, sport, sex trade, retail, and entrepreneurial work. Working Women in Canada is a relevant and in-depth look into the past, present, and future of women’s responsibilities and professions in Canada. Undergraduate and graduate students in gender studies, labour studies, and sociology courses will benefit from this thorough and intersectional approach to the study of women’s labour.
Download or read book Public Policy for Women written by Marjorie Griffin Cohen and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing essays from leading feminist academics, and social activists, Public Policy for Women addresses important public policy issues that fail to address women's needs. The volume's contributors pay particular attention to the relationship between the welfare state and vulnerable populations of women, while making substantial contributions to current public policy debates in Canada. Focusing on discussions of controversial issues such as single working mothers, prostitution, mandatory retirement, guaranteed income, and work for welfare, these essays also consider the political and economic constraints that have been brought about by neo-liberal policy changes. Full of relevant policy critiques and original recommendations for improvement, Public Policy for Women readdresses often neglected subjects and concerns and makes informative appeals for public policy to address women's needs.
Download or read book Women and the Canadian Labour Market written by Morley Gunderson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women and the Canadian labour market is the second in a series of census monographs produced by Statistics Canada. The monographs provide substantive, in-depth analyses of selected themes and demonstrate the power and value of census data. Other topics in the series include population aging, income distribution, immigration, the family, education, the labour force, and Aboriginal peoples. The monographs are designed to be integrated into a variety of academic programs and to serve as background in the formulation and development of public policy. Over the past 25 years women have increased their participation in the labour market at a substancial rate. The question of their sucess in penetrating the labour market has been the focus of numerous studies and policy initiatives over this period. Women and the Canadian Labour Market presents a multifaceted analysis of women's participation in the labour market, the number of hours they devote to paid work, their earnings, where they work and their occupations. It also analyses the impact of policy initiatives as they pertain to women's participation in the labour market.

Download or read book Why are Women Working So Much More in Canada An International Perspective written by Evridiki Tsounta and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2006-04 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the role of the tax and benefit system in spurring the impressive increase in Canadian female labor participation in the last decade. Using annual panel data for 10 large industrial countries over the period 1980-2001, I find that reforms in the Canadian tax and benefit system in the mid-1990s account for at least one-third of the observed increase in female participation in the period 1995-2001. The analysis indicates that policy initiatives similar to the "family-friendly" policies introduced in Canada could boost female participation in other countries and help policymakers meet the challenges of population aging.
