Gender and Immigration Law: The Recruitment of Domestic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
conducted an aggressive overseas recruitment campaign focused on the emigration of women from Europe to British North America. These women were targeted specifically to be domestic workers, irrespective of their previous employment. The campaign ifs of interest because it designated female domestics as an independently desirable category of workers for Canada. No other group of women workers could claim this distinction. The government’s recruitment efforts were a part of its broader colonial ambitions to settle the Canadian west. It needed a legitimate means to provide suitable wives for single male farmers, and female domestics were the first choice. The immigration policy was also influenced by the class interests of Canadians who were concerned specifically with furnishing their homes with servants. In a more subtle way the policy reflected Vic-torian notions concerning the proper role for women in society-both as wives and maids. These different factors informing the Canadian government’s immigration policy reflected tensions and contradictions

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
