This girl is answering. From the report "Canada's Failure to Act: Women's Inequality Deepens: "women remain the poorest of the poor in Canada and little has changed with respect to women's poverty in thirty years."
"Women's income from all sources is about 58 percent of men's income, and there is an equivalent gap in pension benefits, with women receiving only 58.8 percent of the Canada Pension Plan/Quebec Pension Plan pension benefits that men receive."
"...62 or 301 (20.5%) seats in the elected House of Commons are held by women, 33 out of 104 (31.7% seats in the appointed Senate are held by women for a total of 95 out of 405 positions in the House of Commons and the Senate being held by women (23.4%)."
"Women's representation in provincial politics is just as unequal. In fact, the highest representation across provinces is in the Legislature in Quebec where 30 our of 125 seats are held by women. In the Legislatures of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, women hold a mere 11 percent of the seats."
"Though the wage gap has decreased somewhat in recent years, with women employed on a full-time, full-year basis now earning about 73 percent of the amount earned by men in comparable jobs."
"About one-third of all jobs in Canada are now estimated to be non-standard: temporary, casual, seasonal or part-time jobs. The number of women in non-standard work has grown over the past decade. In 1999, 41% of employed women aged 15-64 had a non-standard employment arrangement (compared to 29% for men)."
"In Canada, women still undertake the majority of unpaid (caregiving) work, an estimated 65% of all hours spent on those activities."
For the last 30 years, about 47% of women under 65 who were on their own were considered low income, sole support families are above 50% for the same time period and so are senior women. Work remains heavily sex-segregated and equal pay for work of equal value is not required in all jurisdictions.
There's a lot more but I think you get the idea.
