Earnings: of women with and without children. 2017. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/89-503-x/2010001/article/11388-eng.htm Easy Takeaway: “Gender differences in pay may be more appropriately measured using hourly wages. Comparing the average hourly wages of women and men, the ratio was 83.3% in 2008 – up from 75.7% in 1988.” Fact sheet: Economic security, Status of Women Canada. http://www.swccfc.gc.ca/initiatives/wesp-sepf/fs-fi/es-se-eng.html (Link is currently broken, but I messaged the ministry to let them know and fix it.) “The evolution of Canadian wages over the last three decades.” Statistics Canada, 2011, p. 11. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/11f0019m/11f0019m2013347-eng.pdf Easy Takeaway: “There is a debate regarding what measure of earnings should be used when reporting this gap. The report mentioned above, Income Trends in Canada, has traditionally used the annual earnings of full-time, full-year workers. When applying the metric used in that report, it has been found that women’s average earnings have been about 70% of those of men since 1992. However, Baker and Drolet (2010) made a convincing case that, with the availability of wage data from the LFS, comparisons based on hourly wages—rather than on annual earnings—are more appropriate. The reason is that gender differences in work hours may bias comparisons of annual or even weekly earnings. Using this metric, Baker and Drolet (2010) reported that women’s average hourly wages were 85% of men’s in 2008.” OECD Data http://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx?queryid=54751 Fun OECD Data Visualization tool: https://data.oecd.org/earnwage/gender-wage-gap.htm “Average female and male earnings.” Statistics Canada, 2011. http://www5.statcan.gc.ca/cansim/a26?lang=eng&id=2020102 Perspectives on Labour and Income: Minimum Wage, p. 18. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/75001-x/topics-sujets/pdf/topics-sujets/minimumwage-salaireminimum-2009-eng.pdf Baker, M., & Drolet, M.

Based on a 31.5% gender wage gap in Ontario, a woman will have to work an additional 14 years to earn the same as a man by the age of 65
