For anyone doing research on work and gender, here is a valuable resource: the Gender and Work Database is housed at York University and maintained by a team of respected researchers. The GWD is suitable for researchers with varying levels of expertise and with different needs, and you'll find modules on health care, migration, precarious employment, technology, unions and unpaid work. You can also access a library, statistics, and thesaurus.

CCPA not only does first-rate research; it also connects with the real world by putting powerful information in the hands of advocacy groups and by presenting intelligent, progressive ideas in the media. It is a BC jewel and I urge everyone to support it.
