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. 606 $aAffirmative action programs$xGovernment policy$zCanada 606 $aChild care$xGovernment policy$zCanada 606 $aWomen$zCanada$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aAffirmative action programs$xGovernment policy 615 0$aChild care$xGovernment policy 615 0$aWomen$xEconomic conditions. 676 $a305.4/0971 700 $aTimpson$b Annis May$01499947 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782634803321 996 $aDriven apart$93726389 997 $aUNINA
