Women at home : the cost to the Canadian economy of the withdrawal from the labour force of a major proportion of the female population / prepared by: François D. Lacasse.: Z1-1967/1-1-2E-PDF

"Our primary question - "How much does female non-participation in the labour force cost the Canadian economy?" - merely summarizes a series of other, more specific inquiries. For example, since we are speaking of cost, what sort of an expense do we mean? Who is paying it? In terms of what social objectives does partial female non-employment represent a real cost? Does the present state of social accounting allow an adequate measurement of the phenomenon? This study offers the Commission a summary examination of these questions"--Part One, page 1.
