Who are the working women in Canada’s top 1%? / by Elizabeth Richards.: CS11-0019/2019-2E-PDF ; CS11-0019/414E-PDF

"Rising income inequality in industrialized nations has motivated research on high-income Canadians and how they differ from the general population. Despite notable advancements in education and labour force participation over the last half century, women continue to be less represented relative to men among top income groups, accounting for one in five workers in Canada’s top 1% in 2015. This paper fills an important information gap by providing a gender-based analysis of key socio-demographic and employment characteristics of working women and men in the top 1%, based on the 2016 Census of Population"--Abstract.
