This working paper by Justine Foxall examines how the training proposed in labour adjustment policies does not favor vulnerable groups such as rural women or those whose literacy is inadequate for new job requirements. It looks at the situation of rural women in eastern Ontario, how they already contribute to the revitalization of rural economies, and the additional support that would help them expand their literacy abilities.
