ABSTRACT Driven Apart: The Construction of Women as Worker-Citizens and Mother-Citizens in
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis examines how Canadian women have campaigned for federal employment equity and child care policies in order to enjoy equal employment opportunities with men. It demonstrates how women articulated these double-edged demands through the Royal Commission on the Status of Women (RCSW) and the Royal Commission on Equality in Employment (RCEE). It shows that while both royal commissions called on the federal government to take up women's double-edged demands, the policy response has been uneven. Federal policies to eradicate sex discrimination at work and promote employment equity have been developed. By contrast, a publicly-funded system of child care has never been included within the federal welfare state. Drawing on forty interviews and analysis of a range of primary documents the thesis argues that the federal response to women's demands was narrowed by the meta-discourse of worker-citizenship that underpinned the Canadian welfare state. This prioritised the equal, non-discriminatory

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.
