In Gender, the State, and Social Reproduction, Kate Bezanson considers the implications of those policies for gender relations - that is, how women and men, families, and households have coped with these changes, and how the division of labour and standard of living within these households were affected. Bezanson also considers the implications of neo-liberalism more generally on the lives of people living under such regimes."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-225) and index Notes Print version record Subject Structural adjustment (Economic policy) -- Ontario Women -- Ontario -- Economic conditions -- 20th century Poor -- Ontario -- 20th century Neoliberalism -- Ontario -- History -- 20th century BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- Economic Conditions.
