In the fall of 2004 a resolution was passed at the annual meeting of the Union of Nova Scotia Municipalities' (UNSM) challenging the organization to address women's under-representation in local government. The resolution mandated the UNSM to strike a steering committee to identify barriers to women's participation in municipal government and make recommendations at the following year's conference as to how more women could be engaged in decision-making. A steering committee was established to oversee what has become known as the Women in Local Government (WILG) Project. This report includes the resolution, the research methodology, results, and recommendations of the project. An appendix includes statistics of survey results.
This volume brings together international experts to examine and compare women in local government and features case studies on the US, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Finland, Australia and New Zealand.
In Wisdom, Justice, and Charity, historian Suzanne Morton uses Jane B. Wisdom's professional life to explore how the welfare state was built from the ground up by thousands of pragmatic and action-oriented social workers.
