« À l'aide de l'Enquête sur la population active (EPA) de 2007 à 2022, le présent article examine comment les statistiques agrégées sur l'écart salarial entre les sexes (LDG) de 2007 à 2022 masquent les expériences distinctes des populations autochtone et immigrante par rapport à l'écart salarial entre les hommes et les femmes nés au Canada, et comment les divers facteurs qui sous-tendent les LDG observés détermineront si chaque groupe de population fait face à des défis uniques ou s'ils partagent des défis communs » -- Fourni par l'éditeur.

« Cette infographie examine comment les femmes de divers groupes vivent différemment l'écart salarial entre les hommes et les femmes et comment il a évolué entre 2007 et 2022. Elle utilise les données de l'enquête sur la population active pour les travailleurs rémunérés âgés de 20 à 54 ans, afin d'examiner les expériences distinctes de divers groupes de femmes, notamment les femmes autochtones, les femmes immigrées et les femmes non autochtones nées au Canada » -- Fourni par l'éditeur.

À partir des données de l'Enquête sur la dynamique du travail et du revenu (EDTR), nous avons tenté de déterminer dans quelle mesure des facteurs qui n'avaient pas encore été étudiés dans le contexte canadien contribuent aux différences salariales entre les hommes et les femmes. Comme d'autres études qui emploient les techniques de décomposition standard et tiennent compte de l'effet d'une gamme de caractéristiques liées à la productivité, nous avons constaté que les hommes étaient toujours avantagés sur le plan salarial par rapport aux femmes : le taux horaire moyen des femmes est d'environ 84 %, soit 89 % du taux moyen des hommes. Contrairement à d'autres études, nous avons tenu compte de l'effet de l'expérience de travail et des responsabilités professionnelles. Les différences entre les sexes pour ce qui est des équivalents d'années complètes de travail à temps plein expliquent au plus 12 % de l'écart entre les salaires des hommes et des femmes. Par ailleurs, les différences entre les sexes quant à la possibilité d'occuper des postes de supervision et d'exercer certaines fonctions expliquent environ 7 % de l'écart salarial. Pourtant, malgré la longue liste de facteurs liés à la productivité, une fraction considérable de l'écart entre les salaires des hommes et des femmes demeure inexpliquée.

Marrying legal doctrine from five pioneering and conversant jurisdictions with contemporary political philosophy, this book provides a general theory of discrimination law. Part I gives a theoretically rigorous account of the identity and scope of discrimination law: what makes a legal norm a norm of discrimination law? What is the architecture of discrimination law? Unlike the approach popular with most textbooks, the discussion eschews list-based discussions of protected grounds, instead organising the doctrine in a clear thematic structure. This definitional preamble sets the agenda for the next two parts. Part II draws upon the identity and structure of discrimination law to consider what the point of this area of law is. Attention to legal doctrine rules out many answers that ideologically-entrenched writers have offered to this question. The real point of discrimination law, this Part argues, is to remove abiding, pervasive, and substantial relative group disadvantage. This objective is best defended on liberal rather than egalitarian grounds. Having considered its overall purpose, Part III gives a theoretical account of the duties imposed by discrimination law. A common definition of the antidiscrimination duty accommodates tools as diverse as direct and indirect discrimination, harassment, and reasonable accommodation. These different tools are shown to share a common normative concern and a single analytical structure. Uniquely in the literature, this Part also defends the imposition of these duties only to certain duty-bearers in specified contexts. Finally, the conditions under which affirmative action is justified are explained.

A comprehensive exploration of technology's role in adult learning Technology and Innovation in Adult Learning introduces educators and students to the intersection of adult learning and the growing technological revolution. Written by an internationally recognized expert in the field, this book explores the theory, research, and practice driving innovation in both adult learning and learning technology, and illuminates a powerful approach to recognize and leverage these opportunities. Building on current trends and research in technology and its use, each chapter illustrates the need, opportunities, and examples of current and future technologies that scaffold adult learning, and provides comprehensive coverage of both current and emerging challenges. Many adult learning faculty, practitioners, and students realize that technology presents a growing and ever-present set of issues, yet few feel confident in identifying the opportunities that arise with each step forward. This book clarifies the interplay between adult learning and learning technology, and characterizes the cyclic exchange of information and opportunities that link these fields now and in the future. Understand the critical issues currently affecting adult learning Learn how technology is presenting both opportunities and challenges for the teaching and learning of adults in different contexts Examine recent research on learning technology for adult learners Discover how technological innovation can be applied now and how it will continue to shape the future of learning Adult learning is on the rise, and there is no mistaking technology's role; whether they're learning with or about technology, today's adult learners come with unique sets of needs and skills that demand specialized approaches. Traditional pedagogical techniques don't transfer directly, and learning technology requires its own unique approach to development and use. Technology and Innovation in Adult Learning equips practitioners to further adult learning and shape the future of the field, while providing a rich perspective for classroom inquiry and research.

Human rights, equality, and social justice are at the forefront of public concern and political debate in Canada. Global events--especially the "war on terrorism"―have fostered further interest in the abuse of human rights, especially when sanctioned or perpetuated by democratic governments. This groundbreaking contributed volume seeks to shed light on this topic by uniting original essays that examine the history of human rights in Canada. Contributors explore a variety of themes integral to the post-confederation period, including immigration and ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, disability, state formation, and provincial-federal relations. Three key issues emerge throughout: incidents of discrimination in both government and society, the efforts of human rights and civil liberties activists to create a more open and tolerant society, and the implementation of state legislation designed to protect or enhance civil rights.
