Abstract

The study of the sociology of work reveals that work plays a very significant role on our society, and over the last few centuries the nature of work has changed drastically, thus changing the nature of society along with it - from an industrial to a post-industrial society. The nature of work in Canada and elsewhere is static in that it is always changing, it can be demeaning for some and rewarding for others.(Krahn & Lowe, 2005: xviii). The nature of work in any given society is largely based on how it is structured and what people/powers are in charge. When examining the realities of work in society it is clear that reforms can be implemented that would allow the quality of people's working life to be improved. This is where sociologists play a vital role, as their research can help to craft public policy that will serve to make work more rewarding for more people.(Krahn & Lowe, 2005: xviii). Sociological inquiry can also answer questions like why men get paid more than women and why some men are more heavily "directed" into certain lines of work. (Gaskell, 1993: 205; McCormack, 1993: 196).
