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 =� v 5 oco -0. v IA o c., E L.

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 Older first time parents • from page 1A 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 • • more caring, fulfilled, -and contented. Generally, they emphasized that their ex- pPr'ien!'P was a n(1Citive invnlis one riesnite ups and downs.

"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. (Canadian Science News ) 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 separating our garbage and recycling paper, glass, cans. ate • and transportation Toronto's Greatest Escape!

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.

Over the past year, they made and painted street signs; maintained and equipped community halls; organized hobby and craft shows; supported Fall Fairs; purchased band uniforms; installed street lights; made finger puppets for a Children's Hospital; compiled cook books; co-ordinated fashion shows and even a, Township reunion; organized the complete women's program at the International' Ploughing Match; :provided replacement beds for a hospital; donated privacy cur- BACHERT MEATS *Try our own smoked pork chops for the bar -b -q season* CUSTOM KILLING, FREEZING Cutting & Wrapping KILL DAY ON TUESDAY All meat Gov't.

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.
