Appendix 1
Terms of Reference for National Advisory Council on the Employment of Women
At its first meeting the Council set down its objective as:
The aim of the Council is to create the conditions for women to make their full contribution to the national economy consistent with their individual freedom and their responsibilities as wives and mothers.
Following the 1976 Conference on Women in Social and Economic Development NACEW revised its terms of reference with the approval of the Minister of Labour as follows:
|
a |
To advise the Minister of Labour on matters referred by him to the Council concerning the employment of women |
|
b |
To express views and make recommendations as appropriate to the Minister of Labour on matters relating to the employment of women |
|
c |
To make representations and submissions as appropriate to public bodies such as Commissions of Inquiry, subject to the approval of the Minister, and |
|
d |
To promote the dissemination of information on the employment of women in New Zealand and overseas.[93] |
These Terms of Reference are still the same today.
