Produced by Dr. Stephanie McKenzie and Dr. Shoshannah Ganz.
Women across Canada have made some remarkable gains in recent years, with half the provinces, like Newfoundland and Labrador, now headed by a woman premier, and more women than men graduating from our universities and colleges. However, the income gap between rich and poor in Canada and the gender gap between men and women have been widening. The World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report ranks Canada in 20th place in 2013, and the research organization Catalyst gives us a grade of “C.”
