Training the Excluded for Work

Book Description
In recent years job training programs have suffered severe funding cuts and the focus of training programs has shifted to meet the directives of funders rather than the needs of the community. How do these changes to job training affect disadvantaged workers and the unemployed? In an insightful and comprehensive discussion of job education in Canada, Cohen and her contributors pool findings from a five-year collaborative study of training programs. Good training programs, they argue, are essential in providing people who are chronically disadvantaged in the workplace with tools to acquire more secure, better-paying jobs. In the ongoing shift toward a neo-liberal economic model, government policies have engendered a growing reliance on private and market-based training schemes. These new training policies have undermined equity. In an attempt to redress social inequities in the workplace, the authors examine various kinds of training programs and recommend specific policy initiatives to improve access to these programs. This book will be of interest to policymakers, academics, and students interested in policy, work, equity, gender and education.

Book Description
Presents results of a project to design a limited, innovative set of indicators which, taken together, would provide an overall picture of women's economic status across Canada. The indicators are based on individuals, oriented to social goals, form a measure of outcomes and benchmarks for monitoring changes, and are a limited set of aggregates that show the big picture. The report first describes how the indicators were developed and then discusses and presents the indicators in three categories: income, work, and learning. The indicators are expressed using ratios of women to men, where 1.0 represents equality, for various years between 1986 and 1995, both at the national and provincial/territorial level.
