Gender Transformation, Homelessness and Economic Precarity in Ontario, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article explores the “how” of gender transformation under conditions of increasing inequality and insecurity in the Canadian province of Ontario. The point of entry for our exploration is the increase in gendered survival work associated with acute poverty and homelessness – both of which are rapidly increasing alongside stagnating national progress towards gender equality in Canada as indicated by the 2024 Sustainable Development Goals Gender Index. To produce our analysis, we drew on qualitative interview data from 18 women and gender-diverse people experiencing homelessness. Data was drawn from a larger sample of 49 people experiencing homelessness in Peterborough. Our findings illuminate critical dimensions of Canada’s stagnating progress towards gender equality. We explicate how the intensification of women and gender-diverse people’s work is organized by institutional responses to material and relational precarity across the life-course; the provision of homelessness services organized by the gender-binary; and the normalization of gender-based violence, and gendered experiences of (un)safety for women and gender-diverse people experiencing homelessness.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
