There has been much discussion in recent months about the im- balance 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 respon- sibility in guiding young people and helping them to recognize and cope with the realities of life today. The changes which affect female members off 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 op- portunities. More than 60 percent are in low paying clerical, sales and ser- vice 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 Turn to page 7A . Arthritis campaign... *from page IA made available, then research can take place, and the hiring of staff also. In last year's fall campaign, the local chapter raised $3,600, which was sent to the provincial office of the society. It, in turn, funds research and provides literature. Funds are raised locally by coin bottles in stores, as well as the yearly campaign. The chapter was able to buy walkers for the hospital.
