| Summary: | Using data from the first Canadian General Social Survey (1985), this study examines the hypothesis that the higher level of church attendance of women compared to men is related to differences in labor force involvement. It represents a replication of earlier work done by de Vaus (1984) that found no support for the hypothesis in the United States. In contrast, this study reports partial support for the hypothesis. Results are discussed in terms of U.S./Canadian differences and in terms of implications for future gender differentials in church attendance in Canada. |
