Redesigning employment equity in Canada: The need to include men

This paper recommends that the goal of employment equity be stated in terms of "achieving an integrated workplace" instead of in terms of "hiring and promotion of the members of the target groups." It argues that some type of employment equity is needed to increase male employment in female-dominate d occupations. The paper shows that a significant number of occupations in Canada are female-dominated, Through a case study of the University of Sask atchewan, it shows that the policy in its current state is not achieving an integrated workplace. Finally, it discusses a number of additional benefit s of the recommended policy change.
