Community-based personal support workers’ responses to health and safety risks
Across sectors, neo-liberal logics render individual workers responsible for health and safety while limiting public protections against hazards. This article considers how ‘responsibilisation’ strategies shape responses to health and safety risks among community-based personal support workers in Ontario, Canada. Using mixed-methods data, we consider how structural and demographic conditions exacerbate risks. We argue that the relational aspects …
Caring for Caregivers
Introduction: Even with international consensus that carers play a crucial role in supporting high-needs populations and contribute to formal health system sustainability, the academic and policy literature offers inconclusive evidence to guide how to support carers to ensure their resilience.Theory and Methods: This research used a convergent mixed model parallel design consisting of three main research phases. The theory of social capital was u…
Home Care Workers’ Skills in the Context of Task Shifting
Task shifting, which involves the transfer of care work from regulated health-care professionals to home care workers (HCWs), is a strategy to ensure the efficient delivery of home care services in Canada and internationally. Using a feminist political economy approach, this paper explores the effects of task shifting on HCWs' skills. Task shifting may be understood as a form of downward substitution-and an effort to increase control over workers…
Task shifting in the provision of home and social care in Ontario, Canada
Growing healthcare costs have caused home-care providers to look for more efficient use of healthcare resources. Task shifting is suggested as a strategy to reduce the costs of delivering home-care services. Task shifting refers to the delegation or transfer of tasks from regulated healthcare professionals to home-care workers (HCWs). The purpose of this paper is to explore the impacts of task shifting on the quality of care provided to older adu…
Impact of retirement type on income for people with disabilities
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of involuntary retirement on the economic security of persons with a disability. Very little research examines the economic consequences to forced retirement and no research focuses on persons with disabilities who have a higher rate of involuntary retirement than the general population. Analysing the 2006 Canadian Participation and Activity Limitation Survey, we find that persons with a disa…
Louis-Auguste Martin's Promenades poétiques et daguerriennes – Bellevue
This paper examines Louis-Auguste Martin's Promenades poétiques et daguerriennes – Bellevue, a little-known work from the mid-nineteenth century that is one of the earliest books in France to combine printed text and photographs. It also considers the conditions of the reception of Promenades in 1851 by the Société héliographique. Martin was a member of the Société, whose ambitions included the improvement of paper processes, the creation of the …
Social determinants of older adults’ awareness of community support services in Hamilton, Ontario
Community support services (CSSs) have been developed in Canada and other Western nations to enable persons coping with health or social issues to continue to live in the community. This study addresses the extent to which awareness of CSSs is structured by the social determinants of health. In a telephone interview conducted in February-March 2006, 1152 community-dwelling older adults (response rate 12.4%) from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada were mad…
The Gender Wealth Gap
Wealth is an important measure of economic well-being, because while income captures the current state of inequality, wealth has the potential for examining accumulated and historically structured inequality. This presentation documents the extent of gender inequality in wealth for Canadian women and men aged 45 and older. The analysis uses data from the 1999 Canadian Survey of Financial Security, a large nationally representative survey of house…
Market-Modelled Home Care
Responding to increasing health-care costs, deficit financing and the aging of the population, many OECD nations are exploring new cost-efficient health-care models. One such model, designed to manage the home-based health-care system through the application of quasi-market principles has been adopted by the province of Ontario. Findings from a case study of 835 Ontario home-care workers indicate that a market-modelled approach to health-care res…
Deteriorated External Work Environment, Heavy Workload and Nurses' Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intention
Health system reform experienced in Canada since the 1990s profoundly affected health-care workplaces and workers' attitudes. In this paper we examine associations between deteriorated external work environment, heavy workload and nurses' job satisfaction and turnover intention. Data are from our 2002 survey responses of 1,396 nurses employed in three teaching hospitals in southern Ontario. Data are analyzed first for all nurses and then separate…

Gender differences in health
The allocation of responsibility for later life
Set against the backdrop of an ageing population and the discourse surrounding old age, risk and the welfare state, this paper draws on 51 semi-structured life-history interviews to examine how mid- and late-life Canadians discuss and allocate responsibility for the provision of social, financial and medical supports in later life. Whatever their personal circumstances, most individuals articulated sentiments of personal responsibility for later …
Francis Wey and the Discourse of Photography as Art in France in the Early 1850s
In the last two decades writers on photography have been critical of the practice of designating nineteenth–century photography as art, exposing it as part of the modernist enterprise of stripping the photographs of their utilitarian and social functions – or at least reducing the importance of those functions – so that they can enter the realm of high art in a purified state. However, photography as art was one of the discourses that developed i…
Multiattribute and Single-Attribute Utility Functions for the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 System
BACKGROUND: The Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3) is a generic multiattribute preference-based measure of health status and health-related quality of life that is widely used as an outcome measure in clinical studies, in population health surveys, in the estimation of quality-adjusted life years, and in economic evaluations. HUI3 consists of eight attributes (or dimensions) of health status: vision, hearing, speech, ambulation, dexterity, emot…

Stress, Depression and Tiredness among Women
Cet article traite essentiellement de la production sociale du stress, de la dépression et de la fatigue chez les femmes. Ces problèmes font partie de ceux qui ont été le plus fréquemment évoqués à l'occasion d'une enquête effectuée sur un échantillon aléatoire de 356 femmes canadiennes. Nous avons utilisé les procédures de régression linéaire multiple pour explorer comment ces problèmes de santé sont liés à certains aspects des conditions de vie…
Perceived Participation in Decision-Making in a University Setting
This analysis of responses to a 1988 survey of full-time faculty at a medium-sized university in central Canada indicates that women were less likely than men to perceive themselves as participating in university decision-making, even with controls for other relevant variables. Academic rank, visible or ethnic minority status, and membership in networks were also influential. No significant effect was found for the possession of a Ph.D., the amou…

Do female candidates ‘lose votes’
Dans quelle mesure la sous‐représentation des femmes au Parlement du Canada est‐elle attribuable à la “perte de votes”? II est évident que lorsque les femmes se présentent à la députation sur un pied d‘égalité avec les hommes en ce qui concerne un rival titulaire, la compétitivité du siège disputé, et le parti politique, les femmes n'obtiennent pas moins de votes que les hommes. Les femmes sont également plus aptes àêtre choisies pour disputer de…
