Dans cet article, nous présentons, tout d'abord, les grandes lignes d'évolution du chômage des jeunes au Québec et au Canada, depuis 1976, ainsi qu `une série de facteurs à la source de cette évolution. Nous comparons, en deuxième lieu, le chômage des jeunes avec celui des adultes. L `analyse des indicateurs relatifs, de la durée et de l'indice de gravité du chômage des 15-24 ans et 25 ans ou plus montre qu `en dépit du fait que les taux de chômage des jeunes ont été systématiquement plus élevés et plus dépendants des fluctuations de l`économie, la situation des jeunes au regard du chômage a enregistré une amélioration relative de ses divers paramètres par rapport au chômage des adultes. Enfin, nous analysons le chômage des jeunes en fonction de la tranche d'âge, de la fréquentation scolaire et du niveau d'études. En conclusion, nous présentons des considérations sur les caractéristiques et les perspectives d'évolution du chômage des jeunes au Québec et au Canada.

In early June 1935, one thousand relief-camp strikers clambered aboard freight trains to take their grievances to Ottawa. Their trek would end in bloodshed on the streets of Regina on 1 July 1935, later known as "The bloodiest day of the Depression." In All Hell Can't Stop Us, noted historian Bill Waiser examines the social and political background of the On-to-Ottawa Trek and Regina Riot, and provides an in-depth account of the strikers, their supporters, and their powerful adversaries. This gripping history includes many unpublished sketches and photographs. --Publisher's description

Analyzes how, in the late 1980s, industrial unions such as the Canadian Auto Workers adapted successfully to the growth of the service sector and the changing composition of the workforce. Concludes that problems of internal union structure and identity, as well as jurisdictional disputes between unions, are still not resolved.

The economic boom of the 1990s created huge wealth for the bosses, but benefited workers hardly at all. At the same time, the bosses were able to take the political initiative and even the moral high ground, while workers were often divided against each other. This new book by leading labor analyst Michael D. Yates seeks to explain how this happened, and what can be done about it. Essential to both tasks is "naming the system"-the system that ensures that those who do the work do not benefit from the wealth they produce. Yates draws on recent data to show that the growing inequality-globally, and within the United States-is a necessary consequence of capitalism, and not an unfortunate side-effect that can be remedied by technical measures. To defend working people against ongoing attacks-on their working conditions, their living standards, and their future and that of their children-and to challenge inequality, it is necessary to understand capitalism as a system and for labor to challenge the political dominance of capitalist interests. Naming the System examines contemporary trends in employment and unemployment, in hours of work, and in the nature of jobs. It shows how working life is being reconfigured today, and how the effects of this are masked by mainstream economic theories. It uses numerous concrete examples to relate larger theoretical issues to everyday experience of the present-day economy. And it sets out the strategic options for organized labor in the current political context, in which the U.S.-led war on terrorism threatens to eclipse the anti-globalization movement. --Publisher's description.

Who was that impassioned woman at the heart of the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike? And why did her memory become lost to time? Filmmaker Paula Kelly set out to bring Helen Armstrong back from the margins of history. --Editorial introduction

Like immigrants, aboriginal populations' economic success may be enhanced by the acquisition of skills and traits appropriate to the “majority” culture in which they reside. Using 1991 Canadian Census data, we show that Aboriginal labour market success is greater for Aboriginals whose ancestors intermarried with non-Aboriginals, for those who live off Indian reserves, and for those who live outside the Yukon and Northwest Territories. While these three “facts” could also be explained by a combination of other processes, such as discrimination, physical remoteness, and selection, only the skill/trait acquisition, or “assimilation” hypothesis is consistent with all three.

...In this lecture, I shall forge an alternative approach.... My aim is to rethink feminization and this requires critiquing dominant interpretations of feminization that emphasize women’s high labour force participation and employment rates to the exclusion of other labour market trends through an analytical framework attentive to developments on both supply- and demand-sides of the labour market (i.e., production and social reproduction). I will argue that by focusing attention on the movement of women into the labour market, these approaches risk obscuring the gendered rise of precarious employment. This restrictive emphasis welds feminization to a narrow set of trends and glosses over key continuities, such as persisting occupational and industrial2 segregation, and discontinuities, such as the convergence towards precariousness, in the contemporary labour market. --From introduction
