The aim of the research is to assess the financial situation of farm households in Poland in 2010–2017.The analysis of household finances, i.e. the value and structure of income as well as the method of their distribution, was performed. Despite a significant improvement in the living conditions of this group of people, the financial situation of farmers’ families was worse than of those who have other sources of income. Disposable income in households of farmers per person per month in 2017 amounted to PLN 1575.57 and was as much as PLN 420 higher than in the previous year. The ratio of the share of expenditure on food in total expenditure in 2017 was 31%. Aggregated data from studies of household budgets published annually by the Central Statistical Office constituted the basis of the information used as the sources and own surveys carried out in 2017 in 302 farmers households located in the Masovian Voivodeship.

“…As discussed in chapter 4, some barriers identified by the interviewees include Scholars suggest that the most disadvantaged in the labour market are black people (Jenkins 1986, 6). Of course, women are another group of people significantly disadvantaged in the labour market (Cohn 2019;Sawicka and Łagoda 2015). Gender and racial inequality intersect for women of colour in the labour market (Kim 2009;Block and Galabuzi 2011;Block, Galabuzi, and Tranjan 2019).…”

Negotiating Canada’s Labour Market: The Case of Nigerian Women in Ontario

In this dissertation, I analyze the realities of Nigerian women economic migrants in the Ontario labour market. I use critical race theory and intersectionality lenses to examine the lived experiences of high-skilled Nigerian women in the labour market. I argue that despite legal measures for employment equity, labour market differentiation occurs for the study group. Systemic discrimination produces and maintains aggravated levels of inequality within the labour market. I trace the historical trajectory of legislative frameworks on employment equity in Canada and Ontario, highlighting key legislation. A nuanced understanding of the experiences of the interviewed Nigerian women and civil service organisations reveals that legal measures can construct unfavourable labour market experiences for some groups of people and that legal frameworks alone are incapable of stemming systemic discrimination. I demonstrate how the challenges faced by Nigerian women economic migrants in the Ontario labour market go beyond the legal to the sociolegal. My analysis calls into question the efficacy of current measures to alleviate systemic discrimination in the labour market. This dissertation suggests that a review of current antidiscrimination measures (including enforcement mechanisms) is essential to deal with the contemporary challenges of high-skilled Nigerian women in Ontario. A rethinking of employment equity (as is), vis-a-vis Sub-Saharan African women in Ontario, is due.women showing up and showing out despite the barriers faced. Also, I dedicate this to the younger me, who has not lost the sparkle in her eyes, the smile on her lips, or the ability to dream.Completing a Ph.D is a collective effort, so I will not fail to acknowledge people who have contributed to the realisation of this day. I thank my Ph.D examiners, Amrita Hari and Margaret Watson, committee members Christina Gabriel and Ania Zbyszewka, and of course, my caring supervisor Megan Gaucher for guidance, direction, and support throughout the process. I acknowledge the Nigerian women interviewed for this research project, the Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council (TRIEC), and the Black Female Accountants Network (BFAN). Also, I acknowledge the unfailing love and support of my siblings and mum. I won the lottery with my family. I acknowledge the Chapel of Grace Ottawa for being a great support system. A doctoral programme is capital-intensive. I want to acknowledge all professors who gave me research assistant positions, Carleton University for the support, and Matthew Edevbie for believing enough in a former employee to contribute to my dream. The grant from the Centre for Research on Inclusion at Work (CRIW) is also acknowledged. Several professors have helped me along the way in various capacities. I want to acknowledge Christiane Wilke, Luciara Nardon, Blair Rutherford, and Doris Buss for shining a light on iii my path. I acknowledge the role that Teaching and Learning Services played in my success.Samantha Shortt and Helen Roumeliotis, working with y...
