加拿大西部的煤礦城市經常是短暫的,他們的人口結構主要是由許多國家流動性的男性礦工所組成。他們在種族與居住地上的隔離,以及在勞工的團結性上均較非礦業地區顯著。婦女在總人口數中經常只佔三分之一以下,然而她們的角色對於家庭的社會流動極爲重要。從英國來的婦女在地位上都比過去有所提昇,因爲她們不必像在英國時那樣被期待參與煤礦工作;她們在加拿大的工作是由中國的男性礦工所取代。
The mining towns of Western Canada were often ephemeral and their population structure was dominated by transient male workers of many nationalities. Ethnic and residential segregation and labour solidarity was more marked than in non-mining communities. Women often formed less than one-third of the population but their role was vital for family social mobility. English-speaking women gained status because they were not expected to work in the coal mines, as they had in England, as in Canada their place was taken by Chinese male workers.
