abstract: 'This paper provides a review of the progress of women in the labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market over the last 30 years. We begin with a discussion of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
theoretical underpinnings and the empirical evidence of the labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
supply decisions of women. We then draw on Labour Force Survey data to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
examine the trends in labour force participation, and employment trends
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
by industry and work patterns. We also draw on the Survey of Labour and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Income Dynamics to examine changes in women''s wages and income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality. Our results show that the labour supply behaviour of women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
has increased such that: it now more closely mirrors that of their male
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
counterparts, though children remain a key defining difference.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Part-time labour market participation also reflects this difference. We
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
show that while wages have improved, a sizable earnings differential
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
remains. Changes in women''s education levels were shown to underlie many
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of these trends. Finally, we conclude the paper by addressing policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
issues related to the trends and position of women in the labour market.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We focus this discussion on social assistance, child-care policies,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
child benefits, employment insurance, non-wage benefits, and pay and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment equity.'
