ABSTRACT

Reaching for more fair representation of women in all levels and in all areas of employment involves a fundamental change in mentalities and administrative practices. Following twenty years of efforts to improve women's situation, where are we now? Do men and women approve of the same strategies to eliminate sex discrimination? We will address these questions by relying on results obtained in the context of a research program developed at the University of Ottawa. The results of these studies lead us to question the human costs for women's slow access to employment equity.
