Equal Pay Day

On average, women in Canada have worked 3.5 months into 2019 to earn what men earned by the end of 2018. That’s why April 9 is Equal Pay Day.

The gender pay gap persists in Canada, meaning that full-time working women earn less than men. And the gap is about more than gender, because it’s worse for women who are racialized, Indigenous, living with a disability, or newcomers to Canada.
