Gender Inequality In Canada

The gender wage gap is the difference in earnings between women and men in the workplace.

I am committed to addressing the discrimination in wages and employment and the undervaluing of women and our work.

Inequality is like water. Not only does it come in many forms, but it takes the shape of whatever society is holding it.

Another way that the Canadian government can address income inequality as a social determinant of health is to increase equity for education. Post-secondary education is critical in determining an individual’s career success; a higher level of education results in higher earnings, which in turn result in better health. In Canada, provincial governments play a decisive role in student enrolment and the government should invest in early childhood education as a long-term educational benefit. Not only does education impact income on an individual level, but people with low educational attainment also limit an economy’s capacity to produce and grow. Therefore, increasing equity in education will help to decrease the problem of income inequality.

“I need help. I need a team to help me serve the people,” said Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau feeling overwhelming for this situation (Le Soleil in Freeman, 2016). This phrase couldn’t likely come from a wife of the prime minister, PM, or the highest political authority of a developed country, as is Canada.

Gender inequality has been a long part of Canada’s history with men being the dominant decision makers. Women have had to fight long hard battles and overcome numerous obstacles to prove themselves and demonstrate that they are equal to men and not inferior. Over the course of a century women have achieved suffrage and have become increasingly visible in the political and economic sectors.

Children learn at a very early age what it means to be a boy or a girl in our society. As children grow and develop, the gender stereotypes they are exposed to at home are reinforced by many elements in their environment and are thus perpetuated throughout childhood followed by adolescence. One major societal issue uprising with the way children are raised in today’s society is the gender specific dressing for boys and girls. The history with gender specific dressing is a one sided masculine enforced point of view for centuries. As children move through childhood and into adolescence, they are exposed to many factors which influence their behaviors and attitudes regarding gender roles. It is difficult for a child in today’s society to grow to adulthood without experiencing some form of gender bias or stereotyping. The question lies whether the view of gender specific dressing shall change or stay the same. As society continues to evolve and grow so does the tolerance of new uprising views for the general purpose of equality and freedom to do as pleased. Children regularly learn to adopt gender roles which are not always fair to both sexes. These attitudes and behaviors are generally learned first in the home but then reinforced by their environment, school experience, and media viewing. Nonetheless, the strongest influence on gender role development seems to occur within the family setting. Culture, values, and beliefs are the parents early role for passing on, both overtly

Gender inequality is the idea or situation that men and women are not equal, and is a problem in countries around the world. I will be focusing my research on this type of inequality in Canada. It is an issue for both men and women that they are exposed to at birth, is fed by the media as a teen, and continues in their everyday life as an adult. My approach to this issue is examining three topics that are related to my assignment: childhood, everyday life, and the media. Acts of gender inequality can be found within these broad points that negatively or positively affect males and females. For childhood, there will be toys, clothing, and child advertising. In everyday life, I will cover the workplace, travel, and costs. Media will include celebrities, television/movies, and social media. My thesis statement is: gender inequality is evident in many stages of human development through childhood, teenage years, and adulthood. Gender inequality is a real thing and it is proven in childhood, as a teenager, and adult.
