This study summarizes the lessons learned on gender equality in the labour market. It examines mainstream policies and programs (from selected industrialized countries) that may affect women and men differently, as well as targeted approaches aimed specifically at women or sub-groups of women. The overall purpose is to identify those policies and programs that have succeeded in improving the position of women in the labour market.

The report was prepared by Prairie Research Associates, Inc. (PRA) for the Evaluation and Data Development directorate of Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC), under its direction.

This study benefited from the participation and input of numerous provincial and territorial key informants, representatives from HRDC and other federal government departments and agencies, representatives from universities, unions and non-governmental organizations concerned with gender policy issues, and representatives from U.S. federal government departments.

The technical paper, produced for HRDC as part of this study, is available upon request. It is also available on the Internet at: http://hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/edd.
