Women in Canada
Women are playing stronger roles in the workplace and their profile is rising in many professional fields, according to a new assessment on the evolving status of women in Canadian society. However, the report still shows substantial gaps between the sexes in many key areas. The average earnings of employed women are still substantially lower than those of men, women make up a disproportionate share of the population with low incomes and women are much more likely than men to work part time. On the other hand, one of their real success stories has been the dramatic gain in the proportion of women with a university degree. Women are still slightly less likely than men to have a university degree. But the gap is much narrower than in the past.
The current situation for women is assessed in the fifth edition of the compendium Women in Canada: A Gender-based Statistical Report, available today ($49).
This 300-page report provides a statistical overview of their demographic characteristics, family arrangements, health, education, employment and unpaid work activity, income, housing, and criminal victimization.

IT WAS TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY...MARCH 8, 1986
by Martha Friendly
Childcare Resource and Research Unit
March 2006
International Women’s Day 2006 is the twentieth anniversary of the Report of the federal government’s first and only Task Force on Child Care. The key recommendation of the "Katie Cooke Task Force" was a universal system of child care – co-funded by federal and provincial governments. It would have affordable parent fees, would be designed and managed by the provinces under national standards and would be built through a gradual increase in the supply of regulated child care until the year 2001 when it would serve all children and families. The cost at that time, the Task Force calculated, would be $11.3 billion.

Subject:
Ontario Works Benefit Rates: Loss of Purchasing Power Since 1995 (PDF file - 208K, 20 pages)
"Purpose:
This report discusses the progressive loss of purchasing power for persons participating in the Ontario Works (OW) program in Toronto as a result of steadily rising costs of living and social assistance rates which have remained unchanged since 1995. The report first examines the sufficiency of benefits, compared with standard of living indicators for Toronto residents as a whole. It then considers the adequacy of both the shelter and basic needs components of the monthly OW benefit. Finally, the report describes a proposal put forward by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) intended to help address these and other key issues concerning OW."
["Together with the 1995 reductions, social assistance rates have fallen by almost 35 percent in real and relative terms over the past eight years." --- Excerpt from page 2]
