The barriers to re-employment identified by Canadian respondents in a study in part represent accurate reflections of the problems facing the mature unemployed, however, many of the beliefs and attitudes of employers represent inaccurate or unfounded perceptions. The most frequently cited barrier to the re-employment of older job-hunters was that older workers are less qualified for contemporary employment than younger workers. Socio-cultural orientations of stereotyping assume that the media and other socializing agents directly and effectively teach prevailing cultural stereotypes. This suggests that there are a number of things which can be done within organizations to focus attention on the inappropriate role that stereotypes play in the evaluation of older workers.

Yet the labour union central did not officially endorse independence, mostly because its leadership feared internal divisions and disaffiliations. In addition, the CSN expressed its disappointment with the governmental record of the Parts québécois which had come to power in 1976.

Sets out the parameters of a jointly authored study to be published on the complexities and implications of the law of master and servant in England and the British Empire. Argues that the concept and provision of employment legislation can be determined through individual contract and through penal sanctions that continue to affect employment law. Analysis of the law from the 17th century to the 20th centuries shows the varying legislation developed into a distinctive jurisdiction that was enforced by magistrates, both formally and informally.
