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.'
