AB  - A detailed case study of women's changing economic role at the community & personal levels in Atlantic Canadian communities. Changes in the fishing industry in recent years have been dramatic, & with them have come changes in the economic role of women. Examined are how available jobs are allocated among the potential LF within the community, how household work is arranged within the home, & how changes in economic conditions alter these patterns. In addition to secondary data on changes in the fishing industry, interviews were conducted with managers & workers in fish plants concerning changes in the sex distribution of jobs within the plant, wage rates, working conditions, & sources of labor. The women were interviewed concerning work patterns & the contributions of family members to child care, housework, & family earnings. The conclusions reveal the flexibility of the economy in its use of women, & the flexibility of the family in the economic activities of its members, as conditions change over time. Modified AA.
