“…Research has shown that jurisdictions that have implemented subsidized childcare programs have allowed large numbers of mothers to hold jobs and have resulted in a favorable impact on governmental budgets. 57 Overall, efforts should be made to engage racialized immigrant men and women in a leadership capacity in research, program planning, policymaking, and public education programs to ensure that their voices help shape policy framing and public debate about labor market issues.…”

Precarious employment is rapidly growing, but qualitative data on pathways to and mechanisms for health and well-being is lacking. This article describes the cumulative and intersecting micro-level pathways and mechanisms between precarious employment and health among immigrant men and women in Toronto. It draws on semi-structured interviews conducted in 2014 with 15 women and 12 men from 11 countries of origin. The article describes how precarious employment, conceptualized by workers as encompassing powerlessness, economic insecurity, work for multiple employers, nonstandard and unpredictable schedules, hazardous working conditions, and lack of benefits and protections, negatively impacts workers' physical and mental health as well as that of their spouses or partners and children. It documents pathways to health and well-being, including stress, material and social deprivation, and exposure to hazards, as well as commuting difficulties and childcare challenges. Throughout, gender and migration are shown to influence experiences of work and health. The findings draw attention to dimensions of precarity and pathways to health that are not always highlighted in research and discourse on precarious employment and provide valuable insights into the vicious circle of precarious employment and health.

“…In Québec, the elevated take-up of maternity benefits also reflects other dynamics related to the province's generous family policy, which has included low-cost, high quality childcare since the late 1990s (Fortin et al 2012;Mathieu 2019).…”

This paper compares access to parental leave benefits in the four largest Canadian provinces –Québec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia between 2000 and 2016, using quantitative data from the Employment Insurance Coverage Survey. We show that inequalities in the receipt of benefits mirror and reinforce the structure of income and gender inequalities. We argue that Alberta and Québec represent two regimes of parental benefits. In Alberta the take-up of parental benefits is low, and is closely related to income and gender. Conversely, the vast majority of mothers and fathers have access to parental benefits in Québec. We argue that Alberta is closer to a liberal regime of parental benefits, while Québec is closer to a social-democratic model.

“…Des coupures dans la collectivisation du travail de reproduction sociale peuvent entraîner le retrait d'une partie de la population-les mères-du marché du travail. Plusieursétudes québécoises démontrent sanséquivoque l'effet positif des SDG subventionnés sur la participation des mères au marché de l'emploi (entre autres Clavet et Duclos 2011;Fortin, Godbout, et St-Cerny 2012;Lefebvre, Merrigan, et Verstraete 2009). Si lesétudes sur l'effet des coûts des SDG sur la participation des Québécoises restentà faire, des recherches effectuées dans les années 90 démontrent l'existence d'une corrélation négative entre les frais de garde et le taux d'activité des mères (voir entre autres Cleveland, Gunderson, et Hyatt 1996;Connelly 1992).…”

La transformation de l'offre de services de garde au Québec: une brèche dans la collectivisation du travail de reproduction sociale?

In 1997, the government of Québec instituted a low‐cost and universal childcare services program most commonly available through the “centres de la petite enfance (CPE)” (early chilldhood centers). Since 2003, this model is being slowly dismantled on account of an explosion in the number of commercial daycare centers and, since 2015, an adjustment of rates according to family revenues. This research article gathers scattered information about the childcare services offer changes in Québec to demonstrate that tearing down a section of the Québécois family policy lowers the collectivization of social reproductive work.
