Women's economic security : securing the future of Canada's economy / Karen Vecchio, chair.: XC71-1/1-421-12E-PDF
"Over the past half a century, the economic security and participation of women in the Canadian economy has undergone an incredible transformation. Women’s workforce participation increased steadily, from around 24% in 1953 to 76% in 1990. By 2016, women made up approximately 47.3% of the Canadian labour force.

Improving women’s economic security is essential as it contributes significantly to the maintenance and growth of the Canadian economy"--Summary, p. 1.
