Summary: | The aim of this paper is to review and evaluate policies designed to create gender equality in Canada over roughly the past 30 years with a view to determining what impact, if any, they have had on the status of women. After considering 29 indicators, and noting some of their advantages and disadvantages, it is concluded that all things considered, there is more evidence of improvement than of deterioration in the status of women, including more evidence of progress toward gender equality, since the 1970 "Report of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Canada". |
