Women in Canada earn less than men — even for the same job: Glassdoor

By Erica Alini

The gender pay gap is alive and well in Canada and many other advanced economies, according to a new global study by job search giant Glassdoor.

The report finds that women in Canada earn just 84 cents for every $1 earned by men, a gap similar to the one reported in official statistics. In 2017, Statistics Canada said Canadian women were making 87 cents for every $1 earned by men.

But the Glassdoor study went one step further, finding a four per cent pay differential between men and women even when factors like education, years on the job, occupation and professional title are taken into account.
