Annotation:
This short paper discusses the relationship between gender, migration and the Canadian labour market with the aim of advancing theoretical conceptions of migrant women's involvement in the labour market. It begins by outlining a conceptual framework for integration and labour market integration from an equity and feminist perspective. The authors critique current understandings of migrant women's involvement in paid employment, arguing that "alternative ways of assessing the economic and labour market integration of immigrant women must be devised". The authors seek measures that recognize and capture the unequal treatment and discrimination against immigrant women in the labour market. [Descriptors: Migration - Labour Migration, Canada]
