Canadian jobs and the workers who undertake those jobs have a wide range of differences, new Statistics Canada data shows.
Statistics Canada has released updated data on measures of work — from maternity leave trends to night hours worked — to provide a glimpse into the Canadian workforce and the disparities within it.
As more moms started working, better maternity and paternity benefits were introduced: Fifteen weeks of employment insurance for women with children was introduced in 1971 followed by an additional 10 weeks of parental leave in 1990 . Parental leave benefits were extended to 35 weeks in 2000. Pay gaps persist but narrower Between 1998 and 2021 the gender pay gap decreased from 18.8 per cent to 11.1 per cent. The average hourly wages of women increased 28.6 per cent, while men’s increased 17.4 per cent, in this time.
How we work The five job sectors that require the most job-related training are: health care and social services, education services, scientific and technical services, public administration and utilities. Conversely, food services, agriculture, retail trade, manufacturing and business services require the least amount of job-related training.
About one in three Canadians aged 15 to 69 had the flexibility to choose when their workday begins and ends and of those eight in 10 chose regular daytime hours.
