The gender pay gap in Canada has narrowed over the past year compared to 2021, according to a new report, but is still over 20 percent.
The survey by payroll company ADP Canada found that working Canadians who identify themselves as women reported making 21 percent less than workers who identify themselves as men last year.
The report showed a gap of 24 percent for 2021, compared to 21 percent in 2020.
The survey collected self-reported gross salaries for 2022 from both part-time and full-time employees.
The median salary for men was $72,743, while the median salary for women was $57,725.
According to the report, 33 percent of men reported earning more than $80,000 in 2022, compared to 18 percent of women.
Maru Public Opinion’s online survey included 1,556 working Canadian adults who responded between March 6th and 9th.
No margin of error can be assigned to the survey because online surveys are not truly random samples.
This report from The Canadian Press was first published on June 20, 2023.
