New Chapter on Gender Quality Measurement

New Chapter on Gender Quality Measurement

Congratulations to Leah Levac and Deborah Stienstra on their chapter in a recently published book Counting Matters: Policy, Practice, and the Limits of Gender Equality Measurement in Canada, edited by Christina Gabriel and L. Pauline Rankin. This book investigates how the rise in gender equality measurement contributes to, and falls short of, effective gender equality policy implementation. Leah and Deborah's chapter, with Petrina Beals and Jessica McCuaig, is called "Advancing Intersectional Considerations in Measuring Gender Equality: A Community Vitality Index in Labrador."

The results she shared were from two Live Work Well Research Centre projects: Disability & Livelihoods in Canada and the Engendering Disability-Inclusive Development (EDID) partnership.
