Women in Canada: Work chapter updates

The entry of large numbers of women into the paid workforce has been one of the dominant social trends in Canada over the last half century. That is one of the key findings in Women in Canada 2000 (89-503-XPE), the latest edition of Statistics Canada's seminal series of reports on gender trends in Canada, which was released in October, 2000. This report attempts to complement the Women in Canada series, which is only published every five years, by providing updated information on women's participation in the labour market.

The publication Women in Canada: Work chapter updates (89F0133XIE, free) is now available.

This report is an adaption of the section in Women in Canada 2000 entitled "Paid and Unpaid Work" by Nancy Zukewich. The data in this report were compiled by Marcia Almey. For more information on this report, contact Colin Lindsay (613-951-2603; fax: 613-951-0387; lindcol@statcan.gc.ca), Housing, Family and Social Statistics Division.
