Title
"An Unexpectedly Significant Finding": Poverty and the Royal Commission on the Status of Women
Abstract
Examines the "unexpectedly significant finding" of the report of the 1970 Royal Commission on the Status of Women regarding the situation of women in poverty. Provides historical context and analyzes briefs submitted to the commission. Argues that the commission's preoccupation with improved labour market outcomes failed to address the deeper, structural issues of paid and unpaid work. Concludes that, then and now, the voices of low-income women have not been heard and there has been general reluctance to join the campaign for Basic Income.
