Canada’s tech sector saw employment, pay inequities persist between 2001 and 2016: report

A woman had a 6.29 per cent chance of being a tech worker in 2001, but by 2016, that had fallen to 4.91 per cent.

Meanwhile, men had a 20 per cent chance of being a tech worker, which remained unchanged between 2001 and 2016. Over the same time span, researchers found men made an average of $3.49 more per hour than women and that identifying as a visible minority lowered one’s pay by an average $3.89 per hour. Researchers also observed no pay gap between immigrant and non-immigrant tech workers in 2001, but by 2016, a gap of roughly $5.70 per hour emerged.
