Dynamics of Retirement Income Inequality in Canada, 1991-2011
It’s the Lack of Structure that’s Causing the Problem”: Managerial Competence, the Treatment of Workers, and Job Stress in Precarious Firms
In this study, we use Hodson’s concept of Management Citizenship Behavior (MCB) and a case study research design of 16 small Canadian information technology (IT) firms to examine the interrelationship between insecure work environments, management behavior, and job stress within the context of the organizations. Within the study firms, the presence of MCB in the form of competent and respectful management was associated with a positive work envir…
Older Workers and the Diminishing Return of Employment: Changes in Age-Based Income Inequality in Canada, 1996–2011
This article assesses age-based income inequality among employed Canadians using Canadian Census data over a 15-year period from 1996 to 2011. We show that income inequality has risen for groups of older workers since 1996 and that incomes have polarized based on level of education and occupation. More specifically, we find that wages have stagnated for those with lower levels of education and those not employed in management or upper-level profe…

Flexible Small Firms? Why Some Small Firms Facilitate The Use of Flexible Workplace Policies
Flexible Small Firms? Why Some Small Firms Facilitate the Use of FWPs
This paper examines why some small firms offer Flexible Workplace Policies (FWPs) while others do not and what factors contribute to the offering and use of FWPs within small firms. A multiple case study is employed using multiple data sources on seventeen information technology (IT) small firms in Canada. Findings reveal three types of firms with regard to their flexibility, working hours, and approaches to time. Among these firm types, discerni…
Generational affinities and discourses of difference: A Case Study of Highly Skilled Information Technology Workers1
Sociologists theorizing the concept of 'generation' have traditionally looked to birth cohorts sharing major social upheavals such as war or decolonization to explain issues of generational solidarity and identity affiliation. More recently, theorists have drawn attention to the cultural elements where generations are thought to be formed through affinities with music or other types of popular culture during the 'coming of age' stage of life. In …
Ageing, disability and workplace accommodations
In most western nations, laws discourage discrimination in paid employment on the basis of disability, but for these policies to be of benefit, individuals must define their functional limitations as disabilities. There is a strong relationship between age and disability among those of working age, yet it is unclear whether older workers attribute their limitations to disability or to ‘natural ageing’. If the latter is true, they may not believe …

Welfare Reform in Ontario: Tough Times in Mothers' Lives
This paper investigates the relationship between income security policies and mothers' poverty. We evaluate qualitatively how changes to Ontario's social welfare system brought about by the 1997 Social Assistance Reform Act have affected mothers' financial security. We find that cuts to social assistance benefits and eligibility restrictions can undermine their ability to care adequately for their children and argue that these cuts can also make …
Ambivalence, Family Ties, and Doing Sociology
Sociological Ambivalence and Family Ties: A Critical Perspective
We develop the concept of ambivalence as structurally created contradictions that are made manifest in interaction. We discuss how our reconceptualization enhances the relevance of ambivalence to sociological analyses of family ties. Ambivalence is a particularly useful concept when imbedded in a theoretical framework that views social structure as structured social relations, and individuals as actors who exercise agency as they negotiate relati…
