Patterns of manpower utilization in Canadian department stores / Prepared by: Marianne Bossen, Assistant Professor of Economics, University of Winnipeg.: Z1-1967/1-1-3E-PDF

"The purpose of the study was to investigate the use of manpower in department stores and, more specifically, opportunities for female employees. The principal questions explored by the writer dealt with specialization of labour, allocation of occupational roles to male and female employees -- assuming the existence of a national pattern, possible regional patterns -- the degree to which traditional ("subjective") and other ("objective") factors govern the occupational distribution, and the measure of access of female employees to training and promotion opportunities"--Introduction, page 4.
