The subsistence-based mixed economy of Northern Canada is both productive and essential to community life and survival (Berger, 1977; Brody, 1981 ; Wenzel, 1981; Asch, 1982; Fait, 1982; Usher, 1982). Usher further states that this economy needs to be maintained for its economic value and fundamental linkages to social and cultural conditions. Most researchers state that the productivity of this economy depends on the interdependency of women's and men's work; however, within the extensive literature on this subject few writers examine the labour of women. The purpose of this thesis is to document and analyze Woods Cree women's labour within the subsistence-based mixed economy. Their labour, which is embedded in the profoundly different voice of Woods Cree culture, is best understood through detailed case studies. Oral histories were collected from three generations of Woods Cree Women aged sixteen to seventy, covering the period between 1900 and 1989. Usher's analytical framework of the anatomy of the Northern economy is a most useful model; however, it required some adjustment in order to address gender affected production. The feminist critiques of Delphy and Nicholson are used in analyzing the nature of women's labour. The research found that although Woods Cree women's labour has changed over time and space, it is still essential to the functioning and maintenance of the subsistence-based mixed economy.

A questionnaire developed to learn employer reasons for hiring part-time workers who are covered by collective agreements was sent to 258 organizations in Ontario, Canada, in 1988. The majority of the 172 respondents were human resources or labor relations directors or specialists. Of these, 50% were in health care, 37% were in education and education-related work, 8% were in retail trade, and 5% were from the hospitality sector. Results revealed that, in the health care, education, and retail trade sectors, flexibility in scheduling work was considered the most important reason for hiring part-time workers. In the hospitality sector, the unavailability of full-time labor was the most important reason for hiring part-time help. While the health care and education sectors considered employees' preference for part-time work to be relatively important, the hospitality and retail sectors placed more emphasis on flexibility in employment decisions and savings in wages and benefits.

This is the story of a small but creative and influential group of protestants who, seeing the need for reform and recognizing the emerging collectivism of Canadian society, sought to revive the neglected social dimensions of Christianity. They aroused a passion for social issues that made social action a religious rite. One of the major consequences of their efforts was to provide reform with the sanction of traditional religion, giving new social ideas a gateway into the mainstream of Canadian life. --Publishers description ---------------------------------------- Allen was raised in a Christian family, being the son of a United Church minister, and this no doubt influenced his academic interests, which took him to Duke University where he completed his doctoral studies. Out of this came his first major work, and one which still inspires scholars of Canadian socialism and Christianity to this day: The Social Passion: Religion and Social Reform in Canada, 1914-28. Published in 1971, it served as a defining work for how scholars understood the figures, events, motivations, ideologies, and theologies which shaped the social gospel movement in Canada. While of an age that many might deem ‘dated,’ this book was deeply influential on my own understanding of the Christian left in this country, which existed in rudimentary form given my interest in key CCF figures like J.S. Woodsworth and Tommy Douglas, but wasn’t developed in a meaningful way until graduate school. In Allen’s writing, I saw figures and movements that—however imperfectly—melded the ideas of secular social justice with a conviction that Christ was sent to earth not only to teach us about the afterlife, but about how to build a New Jerusalem in the here and now. --From "Remembering Richard Allen" by Christo Aivalis [blog posting, 2019-03-25]
