Annual Women's History Month Focuses on Women and Work "HERstory of Work: Recognizing Women's Contributions", is the theme for the second annual Women's Women's History Month across Canada this October. Why the focus on women women and work? The history of Canadian Canadian women at work is quite simple: women have always worked. However, However, women's work, whether paid or unpaid, is consistently less valued than men's work - just because it is done by women. Consequently, women's contributions to Canada's economic and social development have gone largely unheralded and unrewarded. unrewarded. Historically, women's work centred centred around the family, household ■ management and community development. development. Pioneer women in Canada laboured alongside their husbands, planting crops, making food and clothing and tending livestock. Their work was considered vital. But that changed with the private and public spheres of life, and the concepts of paid and unpaid labour. When women began to enter the paid labour force in the early 1900s, the only acceptable careers were an extension of their domestic role - such as nursing or teaching - at a much lower rate of pay than their male counterparts. During war limes, women in Canada were propelled into manufacturing and factory jobs to ensure the vitality of the nation's industrial sector while men were away at war. At the end of World War II, however, women were once again relegated to their homes and domestic life. Today, the workplace has drastically drastically changed. Women now represent 45 per cent of the paid workforce in Canada, and have many more choices than their foremothers. Many occupational occupational barriers have been removed. Despite these advances, on the average, average, a woman cams about 70 cents to every dollar earned by a man; the figures figures are much less for many aboriginal aboriginal and immigrant women. Women are often limited to lower-paying jobs - approximately 80 per cent of administrative administrative support services arc occupied occupied by women. While women now account for almost half the workforce, they continue to bear primary primary responsibility for family and household. The reality of women's contributions contributions to work in Canada now is truly extraordinary. Between 1975 and 1991, women accounted for almost three-quarters of employment growth in Canada. Women start businesses at three times the rate of men. And it is estimated that women's unpaid work accounts for one-third of Canada's Gross National Product. Women's History Month is designed designed to foster an appreciation for the past and present contributions of women in Canada. Many events are being planned across the country to increase awareness and understanding understanding of the role of women and work in Canada. Exquisite French Doors by Jansma ...
