| Abstract: |
Research in the labour market experiences of immigrant women in Canada has tended to concentrate on how their experiences assist or hinder their integration into Canadian society. Less attention has been given to how women’s links to their home communities affect or are affected by their labour market experiences in Canada. Using the transnational perspective to analyze the labour market experiences of Ghanaian women in Toronto, this study reveals that women’s work is crucial to the reproduction of families and households in Canada and Ghana. The economic uncertainties these women encountered in the Canadian labour market have propelled them to develop coping strategies that include negotiating gendered ideology and roles, and maintaining strong ties with their communities of origin.. |
