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 surrounding 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).

Despite better educational attainments, women are still seg- regated 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 current 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 briefly 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 6 Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives Part 1: Defining the Pay Gap What Is the Gender Pay Gap?
