Exposing Privatization: Women and Health Care Reform in Canada
Edited by: Pat Armstrong, Carol Amaratunga, Jocelyne Bernier,
Karen Grant, Ann Pederson, Kay Willson
November 2001

What is happening in Canadian health care reform, and what does
it mean for women? Women are the main providers of care,
whether the care is paid or not, institutional or home-based.
Women are also the main recipients of care, especially among the
elderly. Although women are involved in much of the daily decision-
making about health care, they are much less visible among senior
 policy-makers and managers. Given that women make up 80% of
health care providers, paid and unpaid, and a majority of patients,
you would expect the question of the impact on women to be at the
 top of the agenda. But you would be wrong.
