With "The Calculator" you get daily interest paid every month For personal use, OnlyattheRoyalBank Page 12 September 6, 1979 By JACK RIDDELL MPP Huron-Middlesex There has been much discussion in recent months about the imbalance in the labour market, resulting from available opportunities and the skills or training of people who are looking for work. Undoubtedly, our educational system has a major responsibility in guiding young people and helping them to recognize and cope with the realities of life today. The changes which affect female members of the labour force are particularly significant. Here in Ontario, more than 50 percent of all women are now working "outside their homes." Some 40 percent of the entire labour force is female, and women earn, on the average, a little more than half the average male wage. Indeed, a study made in 1976 showed that a woman with a university degree earns less than $10,000 on the average for full-time work, while men with a degree earn an average of $21,854. Ontario laws require equal pay for equal work,and we have a Human Rights Code which specifically prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, with respect to all hiring, training or promotion. Yet women in Ontario do not really have equal job opportunities. More than 60 percent are in low-paying clerical, sales and service jobs, while only about 25 percent of working men are so occupied. Difficult as it is to believe in this modern age, there are still a number of myths which persist with respect to "working women". Some people continue to believe for example, that women work for different reasons than do men. Yet several studies have shown that the main motivations are the same for both sexes: economic necessity combined with a basic need for personal satisfaction. The notion that women work only for pin money has little foundation: some 40 percent of working women are breadwinners. It has even been said that women really don't need as much money as men. What logic can be found in such a statement? A single woman has the same expenses as a single man: she pays the same rent, food bills and taxes. Not all married women have husbands to support them: often they are the main if not the sole wage- earner. Thousands of women are struggling against great odds to raise their families as single parents, trying to be both father and mother to their children, In recent years, with high unemployment, it has even been charged that women are taking jobs away from men who have families to support. However, ac- cording to Ontario's Minister of Labour, if every Ontario married woman handed her job over to an unemployed man, there would still be about 800,000 jobs left over, mostly jobs which men are not trained to do. Studies have demon- strated all too clearly that there is no validity to the idea that women are un- satisfactory employees because they have high absenteeism and turnover rates. There is no significant difference between either rate for men and women at similar levels. One major Canadian study actually showed that while women may have slightly more short-term absences than men, men have more lengthy absences. Have you ever heard statements such as "women fall apart under pressure", "they simply aren't temperamentally suited to hold down responsible jobs?" Studies carried out in the United States have come up with some very interesting fin- dings in this connection. Male employees lose their tempers twice as often as female employees. Jack's Jottings When they do so they shout, bang their desks, slam doors and drive erratically. Women, on the other hand, when they lose their tempers seldom do any of these things, although they have been known to cry, Are a woman's tears a greater indicator of lack of control, of "emotionalism", than a man shouting, banging and driving erratically? What about the idea that it's a waste of time training or giving extra responsibility to a woman employee, because she'll probably get married and or pregnant, and the employer's in- vestment will have been wasted? The fact of the matter is, of course, that women in the thousands are working full-time during their child-bearing and child- raising years, At this moment in time, almost 66 percent of Ontario women between the ages of 20 and 44 are in the labour force. Some 62 percent of them are married, In fact, more than 50 percent of all Ontario wives work. Ontario's Minister of Labour has defined what his Ministry considers to be the goals of the women's movement, including the need to increase the options for women, and con- sequently for men, the im- portance of removing the labels "male" or "female" from certain jobs. The Ministry's Women's Bureau is a resource centre, offering individual counselling, as well as support and en- couragement to community agencies, A wide range of materials is published to inform workers and employers of their rights and respon- sibilities. The Bureau has launched an Affirmative Action Consulting Service because many employers and unions, while obeying the letter of the law, still discriminate in many dif- ferent and subtle ways. The main object of the exercise is, of course, to increase the pool of qualified women available for hiring and promotion, and to ensure that qualified women have equal access to employment. If these aims can be achieved, not only women, but all Ontarians will benefit. B. Glahan and D Kahl of Detroit, Michigan were the winners of a $1,000 bill last Saturday at the Zurich Bean Festival.
