Study: The role of firm-specific pay policies on the gender earnings gap in Canada
In Canada, women earn 27% less than men, on average. Women tend to work in lower-paying firms than men.

These two tendencies contribute to almost one-quarter of the gender earnings gap in Canada. This is the key finding from the study, “What Is the Role of Firm-specific Pay Policies on the Gender Earnings Gap in Canada?”, published today by Statistics Canada.
