Wednesday Show: Half and Wage Gap

wednesday show: When it comes to educational laurels, women appear to be closing the gap with men they accounted for half of all master's degrees in 2016, and nearly half of all earned doctorates among younger Canadians aged 25 to 34, according to CTV. The wage gap, however, persists. The data released Wednesday show more than half of Canada's core working population -- those aged 25 to 64 -- have earned degrees or diplomas from a college or university, the highest rate among comparable OECD countries, a group that includes the United States. In Saskatchewan, for instance, a male with an apprenticeship certificate enjoyed a median income of 86,059, roughly 13,000 more than a female with a university degree. Their workforce participation rate isn't greater. Even though women are more highly educated, they don't earn more. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
