The surge of women in the workforce .: CS11-630/2015-9E-PDF

"The Canadian labour market has seen remarkable changes since the 1950s. Computer-based technologies have helped automate workplaces. Globalization and the economic emergence of countries such as China and India have increased the volume of international trade and reshaped entire industries. The percentage of workers employed in unionized jobs, manufacturing jobs, or jobs covered by employer-sponsored pension plans has fallen. At the same time, Canadian workers have more formal education than workers in the 1950s"--p. 3.
