She focuses on debates, public inquiries, and policy evolution during the Trudeau, Mulroney, and Chr�tien eras, contextualizing these developments with a discussion of the changing patterns of women's employment since the Second World War. Drawing on a wealth of interviews and close analysis of primary documents, Driven Apart explains why federal governments have been able to implement employment equity policies but have failed to develop a national system of child care. Driven Apart was selected as an Outstanding Academic Title by CHOICE and was awarded The Pierre Savard Prize by the International Council for Canadian Studies.Affirmative action programsGovernment policyCanadaChild careGovernment policyCanadaWomenCanadaEconomic conditionsAffirmative action programsGovernment policyChild careGovernment policyWomenEconomic conditions.305.4/0971Timpson Annis May1624168MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814907203321Driven apart3959012UNINA
