Some advice from financial experts.
The traditional, permanent full-time job is dying a slow death in Canada, and precarious work in the new"gig economy" is taking its place. This story is part of, a HuffPost Canada series that looks at how gig economy and contract workers can optimize their finances when it comes to tax time.
For one thing, you are still navigating a system that was not designed with women in mind. A recent study from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives found the benefits of the tax system skew towards men — some 62 cents of every dollar the government forgoes on tax breaks goes to male tax-filers.
But there are many benefits that women — given the social roles they often inhabit — can take advantage of at tax time. Many of these have to do with the fact that women are more often in precarious work than men; they are by and large the primary single parents in Canada ; and that they are more often caregivers to the elderly as well.
