Women have powered a recent shift toward higher-paying and -skilled jobs, but a pay gap will persist until they cease being outnumbered by men in senior management positions, says a new report.
Canada's labour market saw nearly 200,000 women stream into jobs involving less in-person contact and often significantly higher wages after many pandemic measures were lifted, theOf the $21 billion in additional income created by the movement to higher paid sectors over the pandemic, $9 billion or 43 per cent was funnelled to women. This amounted to 15 per cent of the total boost to women's earnings during the pandemic recovery.
Her research found men made up more than two-thirds of senior leadership positions even though the number of women and men in the labour market are equal.Freestone found fathers with young kids were far more likely to be senior managers, filling 10 per cent of such roles, while mothers made up less than three per cent of the positions.
But many didn't return to prior jobs or industries and instead sought work that came with higher paid and "more productive" roles, the report found. RBC estimated nearly 140,000 women streamed out of jobs in high contact sectors with many seeking roles in low-contact industries -- professional, scientific and technical services and finance, insurance, and real estate.
