Abstract
This paper addresses gender discrimination in the Canadian labour force. The paper makes the argument that there is a wage gap between men and women in Canada. The paper discusses theories as to why this wage gap may exist and if this is likely to change in the future.
From the Paper
"Gender Discrimination in the Canadian Labour Force Gender discrimination continues to be a problem in the Canadian workforce. Women in particular are still experiencing a wage gap in the labour force. According to Lois Moorcroft in Newfoundland Women Want Pay Equity Too, "...Full-time working women still earn only 72.5 per cent of men's salaries" (Moorcroft 2005: 6). A great deal of time and effort is being spent in order to try and rectify this situation. For example, In the 1950s, the federal government and seven of the ten provinces enacted legislation enabling 'equal pay for equal work (England and Gad 2002: 283)."

Abstract
The paper examines how, when people discuss gender relations, specifically gender discrimination in the Canadian workplace, they usually conduct their discussion on the presumption that there are only two genders - male and female. The writer proposes that gender relations have become much more complex than this, and the paradigm of just two, opposite genders is increasingly being challenged. The paper analyses some of the repercussions of this aspect of gender relations in the Canadian workplace. There is a rising tide of gender activists who are questioning the binary paradigms that pervade our thinking about gender relations, e.g. man OR woman, gay OR straight, etc.

Abstract
This paper states that the phenomenon of racial and sexual discrimination has recently been made more public after a greater awareness of their existence has been surfacing. It briefly looks at the effects of such actions within the military and questions whether anything can be done about it.
From the Paper
"Yet, unlike the movies or the press accounts the resolutions were not easy to come to and the responses did not elicit satisfactory results for the victims and the dramatic public accounts are just the tip of the iceberg, the very extreme cases. In real life, in the military the daily occurrence of such discrimination problems far outweigh any public awareness of them. Racial and especially gender discrimination are still problems needing address within the armed forces. As there has already been a marked success, resulting from the relatively high rate of racial minority enlistment in the military, it is suggested that the organizations use their own success as an example for how to deal with the newer transition of desegregation of women in the military."

Gender Discrimination, 2002.
A discussion of the issues related to gender discrimination.

Abstract
This paper examines how gender discrimination effects everyone and overlays an additional burden to any true minority and how every man, no matter his race or religion, has a mother and most have sisters, wives and friends who are women effected by gender discrimination. It evaluates the conflict among the experts about just how much effect the combination of race and gender discrimination has upon the individual. It also looks at how the literature associated with discrimination often links race and gender in the same category.
From the Paper
"Though the overwhelming statistical and behavioral research indicates that the problem of gender discrimination will be hard met and that solutions are complicated and hard to employ, there are many social theorists who argue plans of action that both make sense and will hopefully help the problem. In the past some of the responses to the difficulties that arise when a mixed gender competitive system is in play have been answered with further discrimination, usually leveled against women, something similar to the mythical ?separate but equal? that was offered to black children during an earlier era, and interestingly ruled against in the era that allowed these law schools to openly discriminate against women. ?The twentieth century actually produced retrogression rather than progress. The handful of medical schools that had opened to women in the nineteenth century reduced their offerings in the early 1900s."

Abstract
Discrimination continues to be a serious issue in business today. Although the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) monitors and investigates issues regarding discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, and sexual harassment, employees continue to face discrimination in the workplace. This paper discusses issues of gender discrimination in the hiring process and wage determination, as well as the writer's opinion on the subject.
From the Paper
"It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer- (1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his/her gender? (Bennett-Alexander, Hartman). The Equal Pay Act states that employees must be paid the same or comparable wages based on the job description. Regardless of the gender of the employees, if they are performing comparable tasks or job assignments, they must be paid similarly."

Abstract
This essay looks at the discrimination of women in the workplace. It discusses the ways in which gender discrimination is manifested and the reasons why it is still persistent in our society today. Although the status of women in the labor force as well as in society in general has considerably improved in the last hundred years there is still a bias present. The paper presents articles that argue that women are still fighting for equity in pay and are more likely to suffer poverty due to discrimination in the workplace.

Abstract
This paper proves that, despite legislation enacted within the United States and abroad promoting equality in the workplace, women still face obstacles and discrimination in employment. This study links the practice of gender discrimination with the ability of women to achieve advancement and promotion across all industries and organizations. The study focuses on the ability of women to acquire top-level positions and wages equal to that of male counterparts. It also details the importance of educational programs geared toward reducing discrimination as a factor in the future success of female entrepreneurs.

"This study assumes that gender discrimination is still a concrete problem in the workplace during the 21st century. According to Deborah Kolb and Linda Putnam, there are few legitimate empirical studies that have been adequately conducted regarding men and women related to salary and other financial negotiations. Of the studies that have been conducted, some differences between the treatment of men and women have been identified however. Research specific to salary negotiation has indicated that women in general realize lower returns resulting from salary negation efforts (Kolb & Putnam, 1997)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Canadian labour market is currently experiencing a perfect storm of circumstances that is creating an environment conducive to some of the best employment data in decades. The paper further discusses how analysts point out that the low unemployment figures, between 4 and 5 percent, have fuelled housing related spending as well as benefited from the high prices of natural commodities where those industries have greatly expanded operations over the last 5 years. Yet, in spite of such strong economic support for continued employment strength, analysts are also quick to note that continued inflationary pressures combined with global market related factors related to competitive labour practices are sure to affect an overall increase in unemployment figures over the next several years

Abstract
The paper presents journal entries which examine a broad sociological concept. It provides the strengths and limitations of popular definitions of each concept and indicates the importance of each concept to the study of contemporary society. The paper describes the importance of a keen understanding of terms like class, gender and discrimination.
From the Paper
" Library Research Journal: Definitions and Explanations of Class, Gender and Discrimination Class, Gender and Discrimination are items that are very important in any sociological discussion of our times. As society remains fractured along class, race, sex, ethnicity and a host of other divisions, knowing what these concepts are as well as their applicability to contemporary matters is very important. The following paper will provide definitions of the aforementioned concepts, an example showing application of each concept, some commentary on the concept and copies of the source page from which information on the concepts is drawn. In the final analysis, what should emerge is a recognition that these concepts are somewhat more complicated than they might otherwise appear."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Canadian workers have been victimized for decades by a political economic system which protects business, trade and the financial community interests at the expense of workers. The paper discusses further how globalization has also weakened the Canadian unions. The paper maintains that for Canadian unions to become more effective, the Canadian public must wake up and realize that globalization is just another name for exploitation.
From the Paper
"This dominance and control has been portrayed as the pursuit of policies which are in the best interests of all Canadians, and has been expressed through government and business support for the free market system and the neo-liberal policy of globalization. Unfortunately for millions of Canadian workers, government policy makers and businessmen interpret the free market system as a system dependent upon the ability of businesses to increase their profits. In their view, anything that diminishes the ability of Canadian businesses and corporations to expand their profit margins is harmful to the economy, and anything that enables Canadian businesses and corporations to maximize their profits is beneficial to the economy."

From the Paper
"There is clear evidence that in general men are the preferred candidates for any position (other than those excusive for women) in the job market. Even when candidates from both the sexes possess similar qualifications, employers show a distinct bias in favor of men. An audit study conducted on restaurant recruitment pattern in Philadelphia attested to the existence of discrimination. In the above study, mock resumes were used to find out the hiring pattern of restaurants throughout the state. The results revealed that women in general received offers from poor paying restaurants while the bigger well paying restaurants preferred men."

Abstract
This report aims to prove that the hiring and promotional policies in Company X are discriminatory towards females. It presents testimony that details and outlines evidence of rampant illegal discrimination in the company's human resource policies over the course of many years. This information is used to receive remedy from this court of law for the female plaintiffs to rectify this practice of blatant Company X's glass-ceiling policy implementation.
From the Paper
"Although sexual inequality in employment avenues seems to be a universal phenomenon, evidence indicates that Company X represents an extreme case in our nation. Our objective is to prove that throughout the history of Company X, male employees have benefited by receiving higher earnings through salaries and other benefits as well as higher level positional promotions than their female peers. Given the composition of the workforce of Company X, we have determined that despite the fact that the female employees have consistently worked longer hours than the male employees, they do not receive proportionate pay at Company X."

The paper begins with a definition of key terms and a review of the research on gender inequality in schools. The differing viewpoints on the topic are considered and the causes and influences of gender bias are looked at. Discrimination amongst staff is also touched on. The paper concludes with recommendations for improving the situation.
From the Paper
"Gender equity, in education, is defined as, ?the provision of equality of opportunity and the realization of equality of results for all students based on individual aptitudes, abilities and interests, regardless of gender? (AAUW, 1999). The failure to ensure this equity is known as gender discrimination, or gender bias. Within education, the existence of gender discrimination can be determined by a wide range of factors, such as; enrollment levels; exam results; the manner in which teachers respond to, and interact with, students; the topics and materials used within the teaching process; and the manner in which the school environment and social conditions influence the students. In 1972 the US Department of Education passed Title IX, a set of amendments aimed at reforming gender inequity in schools."

Looks at the problem of racism and discrimination in Canada.

Abstract
This paper examines the issue of racism in Canada. The paper points out that, contrary to popular belief, minorities in Canada do suffer from racism; this is most notable in the workplace. The paper argues that the problem of racism in Canada is deeper than meets the eye and that the Aboriginal peoples experience the greatest amount of racism. Three separate studies on racism in the workplace and the results of these studies are summarized and analyzed. The paper concludes by noting that all three studies indicate that racism is more often directed toward minorities of color than other minorities.
From the Paper
"Since it is regarded, in Canada?s very polite social mores, to talk much about money, it is not surprising that few know that ?Foreign-born visible minorities earned, on average, 78 cents for every dollar earned by a foreign-born white Canadian.? (CRR Web site, 2001) The nation is so polite, in fact, that only 7 percent of respondents to a recent questionnaire for a Statistics Canada survey reported experiencing discrimination or unfair treatment ?because of their ethno-cultural characteristics in the past five years.? (Keung, 2003) Among visible minority groups, however, 20 percent of those 15 and older said they had been victims of racism, an the more visible the group, the more likely they were to report instances of racism, with nearly one-third of blacks, 21 percent of South Asians, and 18 percent of Chinese reporting racial incidents."
