Although Canada become a country over 150 years ago, the gender equality in wages and working conditions started to be addressed in Canada only 49 years ago, in 1971, when the women movement organized and demanded to gain rights and equality in the workplace [footnoteRef:1]. It is disappointing to see that the issue was addressed relatively recent, even worse to notice that in the 21st century, Canada is still not treating the gender pay gap and women equality in the workplace. There are many issues su
ounding this issue, such as gender discrimination, cultural expectations, social unconscious biases. The gender wage gap is about choices and opportunities[footnoteRef:2]. It is an issue socially constructed with the traditional expectations for the women around the family and the role of a mother and housewife. [1: Connelly, M. P. (2015, March 4).

10 Ways To Close Ontario’s Gender Pay Gap 5
Introduction
The righT To work free of pay discrimination is a fundamental human
ight, yet women in Ontario are still far behind the male starting line in the
labour market. Despite better educational attainments, women are still seg-
egated into lower paying jobs.1 Women in Ontario earn, on average, 28%
less than men.
Gender pay gaps are one of the most enduring features of world labour
markets, with many different and intersecting causes.2 Clearly in Ontario the
cu
ent measures to address pay discrimination are not effective enough to
counter market income inequality. A multi-dimensional approach to clos-
ing the gap is required. This report provides 10 key ways to tackle closing
the gender pay gap.
But first, the report answers
iefly the following questions to lay the
groundwork:
• What is the Gender Pay Gap?
• Why Do We Still Have One?
• Why Does Closing the Gender Pay Gap Matter to Everyone?
The report uses Ontario as its primary focus to illustrate the issues under-
lying the persistent gender pay gap. It builds on the work in the CCPA-On-
tario report, A Living Wage As A Human Right.3

the Pay Gap
What Is the Gender Pay Gap?

This measure includes all types of work.
