Employment equity and Aboriginal people in Canada.
Voyageur, Cora Jane.

Employment equity and Aboriginal people in Canada. - 430 p.

Adviser: Graham Lowe.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Alberta (Canada), 1997.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact and effectiveness of the Federal Employment Equity Act on Aboriginal people in Canada. It was designed to curb workplace discrimination on two fronts. The first deals with the reduction and elimination of pre-employment conditions such as unequal access to jobs or insufficient educational preparation. The second involves correcting systematic discrimination that prevents equal participation in the workplace. Although the Act has been in existence in Canada since 1986, there has been no comprehensive analysis conducted to assess the effectiveness for Aboriginal people. Its impact on Aboriginal people is important since Aboriginals occupy the lowest social and economic position in Canadian society and the legislation has the potential to greatly benefit them.

520 $a The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact and effectiveness of the Federal Employment Equity Act on Aboriginal people in Canada. It was designed to curb workplace discrimination on two fronts. The first deals with the reduction and elimination of pre-employment conditions such as unequal access to jobs or insufficient educational preparation. The second involves correcting systematic discrimination that prevents equal participation in the workplace. Although the Act has been in existence in Canada since 1986, there has been no comprehensive analysis conducted to assess the effectiveness for Aboriginal people. Its impact on Aboriginal people is important since Aboriginals occupy the lowest social and economic position in Canadian society and the legislation has the potential to greatly benefit them.
520 $a This study evaluates to what extent Aboriginal people have benefited from the program and determines whether the legislation's objective of improving the employment prospects of historically disadvantaged groups has been met. Comparisons are made between the progress of other designated groups under this legislation and Aboriginal people. This project identifies successful and unsuccessful employment equity models and offers interpretations about why specific programs are more beneficial than others.
520 $a The study has three parts. The first is secondary analysis with aggregate trends are drawn from a series of Legislated Employment Equity Program (LEEP) Annual Reports from federally regulated employers and Crown Corporations. The second is case studies involving: The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (financial sector), Alberta Government Telephones (communications sector), the University of Alberta (education sector) and Syncrude Canada (resource sector). Similarities and differences between these organizations provide insights into their efforts toward achieving employment equity and their effectiveness. The third involves profiles of some employees currently employed, or who were employed, with a case study organization.
520 $a The analysis of the Native employment experience is significant to other employers or Crown Corporations who must maintain required levels of employees from the designated groups. Attracting and retaining Aboriginal employees is important to employers since the native community is the fastest growing segment of Canadian society and will represent a larger portion of the employee pool in the future.
