The Burden of Being ‘‘Employable’’: Underpaid and Unpaid Work and Women’s Health

---

Abstract.
In the study presented here, we examined factors that shape women’s employability and their
impact on women’s subjective health and well-being in four British Columbian communities.
Although the economic contexts of the urban, rural, remote, and reserve communities were
diverse, they intersected with gender roles and cultural norms to provide a picture of women’s
employability that was remarkably consistent. In all the communities, the women reported difficulties
making ends meet; caregiving overload; chronic stress and worry; and, in many cases, violence
and abuse. Our intersectional analysis allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of women’s lived
experiences of being defined as employable.

Keywords: health and well-being, intersectionality, employment, employability, determinants of health
