Time poverty of Pakistani immigrant women in Toronto
Over decades, economists and sociologists have established that women tend to work more than men if both paid and unpaid work are counted. Even with women’s increased labour force participation, men have only shown modest increases in unpaid domestic work. This study demonstrates, through time use diaries and interviews, a unique time use pattern by Pakistani Canadian immigrant women. The eight women in this study performed all or nearly all unpa…
Coercive Transnational Governance and Its Impact on the Settlement Process of Eritrean Refugees in Canada
This article will examine the transnational practices of the Eritrean government, and their impact on the settlement of Eritrean refugees in Canada. The focus is on actions by the Eritrean regime that have a negative effect on refugees’ capacities for successful integration, and undermine Canadian sovereignty. The concept of coercive transnational governance (CTG) is introduced, to highlight this neglected aspect of refugee resettlement, with ill…
Where We Have Come and are Now Trapped: Views of Victims and Service Providers on Abuse of Older Adults in Tamil and Punjabi Families
This paper contributes to the literature on the intersections of age, generation, immigrant status, and racialization. In particular, it will bring into the discussion: (1) the perspectives of victims and service providers on the causes of, barriers to, and alleviation of abuse of older adults; and (2) continuities and changes in the social meanings of age, including the intersectionalities between age and other social hierarchies, such as immigr…
A Critical Reflection on the Use of Translators/Interpreters in a Qualitative Cross-Language Research Project
Based on experiences from a qualitative research project on immigrant women's English language acquisition, we critiqued the traditional positivist model, and identified a number of issues related to the engagement of translators/interpreters in feminist and community-based research. The issues that we identified amount to serious questions about ambiguities and ownership of translated language content; assumptions about community familiarity and…
Insiders and Outsiders: Women's Movements and Organizational Effectiveness
L'efficacité organisationnelle des mouvements de la femme au Canada et en Finlande est explorée, en mettant l'accent sur l'élaboration de politiques sur la garde des enfants (1960–1990) et en tenant compte des contraintes structurelles qui sont particu‐lieres a chaque pays. Les résultats de l'efficacité des organismes féministes et axés sur la femme sont etudiés sur trois plans (programmes, mobilisation et culture). Les organismes feminins de Fin…
Women facing the state: Childcare policy process in Canada and Finland, 1960–90
The examination of women's influence on government policy is an integral part of comparative research into women and the welfare state. Focusing on the process of childcare policy development in Canada and Finland, this article suggests that the degree and nature of women's influence depend on the extent to which women's organizations representing different gender ideologies have established an effective presence in official politics. Furthermore…
The Hidden Producers: Women's Household Production During the Great Depression
Traditionally, European and North American cultures have defined men as the 'breadwinners,' while women have been assigned responsibility for household management and childcare. Men have been expected to earn a 'family wage' to support not only themselves but a wife and children. Concentrating on examining the 'myth of the family wage' in Canada, we explore some of the significant ways in which rural and urban married women outside the paid labor…
