The gender wage gap in Canada varies depending on education, income, and work hours. Women with higher earning potential tend to choose part-time work, leading to a larger annual pay gap. Men are more likely to be promoted, while women often work part-time or take time off for childcare. The wage gap increases with age, especially for top earners. Education helps reduce the gap, but a glass ceiling effect is seen for the top 10% of university earners. Despite more men than women on the top earners list, there is no significant gender wage gap. Achieving wage equality requires addressing gender equality in both the workplace and the household.
