Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 21,1990 7 YWCA Speaker Urges Changes for Economy is prepared s. Carrigan. by Laura J. Richards Canada must continue to, change its economic policies, said Diane Cohen, business editor of CTV news. This move is needed to accommodate accommodate the increase in services rather than goods being supplied supplied to other countries. Speaking at the Durham Region Ninth Annual Women Women of Distinction Awards Banquet, Ms. Cohen told the audience of 300 women and men that women, like Canada, Canada, have to find ways to fit in and figure out how to manage changes in their lives. "Canada is no longer an industrial state," she said. "We must look at and develop develop new rules." Admitting there aren't any rules governing "intangible "intangible goods," Ms. Cohen said ideas are products of the present and future world. When she first started her career in the 1970s, everyone everyone knew what Canada was. "We didn't have to worry about inflation or poverty, so we thought." In more recent years, Canadian Canadian politicians learned not to isolate Canada from the rest of the world. "We have moved far away from the national economic policies of before to look at Free Trade. It is time to look at and concentrate on Canada Canada as a nation - to sell our raw goods and manufactured manufactured products to countries in a larger marketplace." National trading policies have to include intellectual services. "There economy, a place world." "We are looking at a world where economics is more important than politics. politics. "Many people no longer believe politicians can be effective effective in making policies. There is a deep-seated belief that politicians are becoming becoming less important." The Canadian public and politicians alike are worrying worrying about the country's future. future. Both groups are "going to have to rethink things that were once thought to be settled," she said. "We've done not badly but we need to figure out how to come to grips with diversity diversity and unity." . Canada, like Europe, she said, has to work together through the different regions regions in a "more or less peaceful" manner. For Canada Canada that may simply mean loosening up the country's unity with a policy to empower empower people. It is obvious to her, she stated, that Canadian policy isn't working well any more. So something has to be done. "Loosening up the system could best achieve unity through diversity," she said. The economy's turn into a recessionary period has dealt Ontario a blow, she said. This is a time for the province to restructure itself. itself. So how and where do women fit into the scheme of things? she asked. "Our value is at minimum minimum wage in the market place," she stated. Many of the socialized characteristics women developed developed over the years have been seen by men as being liabilities but are now being viewed as required skills. A few of these skills are: doing several things at once, managing managing people, and being able to make quick, thought- through decisions.. Those once seemingly useless skills have a value in the labor market, especially in management management levels. The labor force has gone through some changes. It is no longer made up of young, white males. "Employers are beginning to look for everyone else including including women. Employers will soon begin begin to make long-term changes in values and in the work force in order to get and keep valuable employees. employees. For employers, this will mean supplying on-the-job training, day care and anything anything they need to get workers workers to work for them. These changes will make it easier for women with children, married and single mothers alike, to find employment. employment. Employers will also learn to understand that people will have two to three different different jobs or careers in a lifetime. lifetime. More and more people have to move from job to job to fulfil their own needs, economically economically and personally. People, women and men alike, need to set priorities and goals for themselves. Once they begin to attain one set of goals it will be time to think about another set.
