Many social inequality studies in modern societies take an individualistic approach. They analyse men and women as individuals and neglect marriage patterns and familial relationships. This often implies that men and women are all alike, that there are no important differences within households, and that employment chances and risks within the family are based on gender-free considerations. This article draws on the empirical results of several international comparative research projects to examine the impact of changes in union formation, the division of labour in couples and rising uncertainty in male breadwinner incomes on the development of social inequality between families in modern societies. The empirical findings support the view that such inequalities have grown significantly ...

THE political right calls it "starving the beast." The centre and left say it's "pushing the string. [Jim Flaherty]'s Reaganomics will translate into considerable social, economic and environmental pain for Canadians. And it's all for nothing, according to the Geneva-based World Economic Forum's 2005-06 Global Competitiveness Report. It demonstrates that starving the beast just pushes the string. That is, it doesn't work. The really competitive economies are the Scandinavian countries, the countries North America's business community loves to hate because of their "statism" and "welfare entitlements." There is barely a word in this document about Canada's social goals," [Andrew Jackson] continues. "(It) is silent on major issues of importance to most Canadians, including inequality, p...
This paper sets the current debate about Canada's criminal law prohibiting polygamy in an historical, social and legal context, and argues that this law is constitutionally valid and sound social policy. Unlike the recognition of same-sex marriage, which promoted equality and saved government resources, the recognition of polygamy would promote inequality and impose costs on Canadian society. The social reality of polygamy is often exploitative of women and harmful to children, and its practice is contrary to fundamental Canadian values. If Canada's prohibition on polygamy is ruled unconstitutional, we would likely have to allow immigration by polygamous families. Western European countries, which allowed immigration by polygamous families in the past, experienced significant social and...
