The result has been greater formal equality for women, but at the same time the restructuring and reduction of benefits have undermined these gains and made women's lives increasingly difficult. This study, which uses concepts from political economy, feminism, and public policy, will be of interest across a range of disciplines."--JacketStudies in comparative political economy and public policy.Unemployment insuranceCanadaHistory20th centuryWomenEmploymentCanadaHistory20th centuryCanadaEconomic policyCanadaSocial policyHistory.Electronic books.
