Abstract

Introduction In this article, the employment status of women in Canada is described and analytical approaches to the employment status of women is assessed. The explanatory value of four perspectives on the determinants of the employment status of women are explored using available Canadian statistics. It is concluded that public policy needs to account for contribution factors from each of the four frameworks and that research should focus on creating integrative models of the determinants of employment status that include relevant factors from each of the four perspectives.
