Economle realities of early motherhood..

achievement, Grindstaff formed an ag-
gregate "professional" category consisting
of Managerial and Administrative, Science,
Teaching, and Medicine and Health posi-
tions. Over 122,000 30 year old women were
in Canada's wort force in 1981, and approx-
imately 30 Aer cent of this number were in
professional ,positions. Only 16 per cent of
women who married under 20 were in the
professional category compared to 37 per
cent of the women who married at 20 or
older. The highest proportion of women in
the professional group is 43 per cent for
women who were married at age 20 or older
and either had no children or delayed their
childbearing until age 25 or older.
The number of children borne by a woman
also has a significant impact on occupation,
Grindstaff said. Married women with one
child or no children are twice as likely to
hold professional positions as married
women who work and have three or more

In investigating women's earnings, Grind-
staff discovered a children/childless
dichotomy—Only nine per cent 9f women
who had a baby before 24 years of age had
an income of $15,000 or more. About 15 per-
cent of the women with one child younger
than six had this level of income. But 40 per
cent of married, childless women earned at
least that amount in 1980. The data also in-
dicate that each additional child a woman
bears reduces by about 50 per cent the
likelihood that she'll earn an upper level in-
come of $15,000 or more.
"The no -child family apparently allows
the woman to participate in•a career much
as a man does without disruption or discon-
tinuity," Grindstaff said.
-The accumulated evidence invariably
concludes that adolescent marriage and fer-
tility restrict a woman's future to the extent
that most of her life is their predetermined;
her choices of non -maternal roles are few

because the couple had less privacy and
were more fatigued.
On the positive side, the couples indicated
that they felt closer to their own parents and
parents-in-law after the birth than they had
before. They felt that they themselves were

"And overall, childbearing that begins
under the age of 25 seems to have nearly the
same level of negative impact as teenage
fertility, especially in terms of earned in-
come."
Young people need to know that facts and
the probabilities associated with early mar-
riage and childbearing, and they should be
given the chance to implement their choices
based on those facts, Grindstaff said.
An entire range of issues to do with mar-
riage and childbearing, especially the tim-
ing of these two important events in life,
needs to be discussed in families and
schools, he added.
"It's a duty of the family and educators to
provide adolescents with means of making
an informed choice regarding the dif-
ficulties associated with early marriage and
fertility and I hope my research work and
the book will provide a stro, g impetus in
that direction."
delaying childbirth. Most couples reported
little outside pressure to have children, say-
ing that they had decided to because of the
"biological timeclock" - the wife would soon
be too old to have children.

Major concrerns discussed at meeting
Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario
were concerned about current issues during
their annual board meeting at the Bond
Place Hotel, Toronto in November.
Numerous concerns had been studied dur-
ing the past year by over 25,000 Women's In-
stitute members in 1,125 branches. Some of
the topics that were explored included por-
nography; profiteering by crime; women's
rights; farm safety; Canada pensions;
advertising that exploits women; day care
centre for pre-school children; bulk food
shopping; child abuse; battered women;
uses and effects of pesticides; small prin-
ting on bottles and in telephone books; litter
in public places; causes and effects of acid
rain; drugs and alcohol; abortion; return of
standard spare tires and better tires on new
vehicles; how to protect our environment by

of animals and their safety.
One day of the annual meeting was spent
considering some of these concerns in the
form of 16 resolutions which had been sus-
tained at Branch, District and Area levels.
After much study and discussion, nine of
these resolutions were deemed worthy of
support and were sustained.
Alcohol seemed to be the major concern,
affecting our lives today, because three of
the sustained resolutions pertained to this
topic. Therefore action was requested to:
(1) raise the drinking age to 21 years; (2)
step up a campaign for tighter controls and
public awareness of the harilnful effects of
alcohol; and (3) enact legislation so that a
ubstantial portion of profits realized from
liquor licenges,and taxes on alcoholic.
beverages be used explicitly; for the care
and rehabilitation of alcoholic victims in
treatment and de-tox centres throughout
Ontario.
Concerns addressed through the other
resolutions were: to set a standard for seat
belt fasteners in cars and trucks; to enforce
laws to prevent the degradation of women
and children through pornography; to
change the legal system to deal more
severely with repeat offenders; to enact
legislation which will exclude psychiatric
patients from nursing homes for seniors; to
implement compulsory centre line mark-
ings. on all black top road surfaces; and to
urge. the .Canadian government to strive to
.be a leader in the global nuclear disarma-
ment movement.
But all is not work. Women's Institute
members do take time to enjoy the friend-
ship of fellow members, make new friends
anddenjoy the warmth of serving others.
Women's Institute discovers needs
Almost three-quarters of a million dollars
was generated by 1,152 .Women's Institute
Branches. across Ontario to carry out their
diversified projects and activities 'during
the past year. • • '
This statistic comes from the publlic rela-
tions report presi 'rated to the Federated
Women's Institutes of Ontario at their an-
nual board meeting held recently at the
Bond Place Hotel, Toronto.
Non-members see the Women's Institute
as a social organization. They are quite
unaware of its educational role, ,the -high
level of community involvement it fosters
arid its traditional concern with improving
the quality of life.
Since the Women's Institute is an educa-
tional organization, the Branches initiated
and supported many projects in this field.
They presented awards, scholarships and
bursaries to students; bought recreation
equipment for a nursery school; supported
public speaking competitions and music
festivals; purchased a projector and
microfilm reader; and provided a "scan-
ner" for the CNIB.

The Women's Institute groups were also
actively involved in numerous Bicentennial
activities.
. Women's Institutes are continuously at-
- teriapting to improve. the quality of life. The
elderly, sick and shut-ins are visited 'and
remembered with gifts and cards. Meals on
Wheels and parties add to the life of seniors
living alone. Members volunteer help at
blood donor clinics and hospitals and also
provide hospital and medical
transportation. Branches supported crises
centres and Block Parent programs and
canvassed for non-profit organizations. One
Branch adopted a resident of a home who
had no family and brightened that life con-
siderably.
All Women's Institute groups support the
world-wide UNESCO co -action project of
"Clean Water For All."
This is just a cross section of Women's In-
stitutes activities across Canada. The com-
plete list would be endless.
