Résumé

The general concern of this article is with the role of women in the organization of the demand and supply of labour in the context of the Nova Scotian fish processing industry. The distribution of jobs by gender, wage rate differentiation, job mobility distinctions, and labour market segmentation according to job tenure, are analyzed in this light. Particular empirical reference is to a fishing community, which I shall call East Sandy Cove, in south west Nova Scotia where I spent two and one-half months conducting field research.
