 CLICK CHART TO ENLARGE Part Time-Full Time, Male and Female Employment in Canada
STATS CAN Employment Data: In Canada, more women than men work at part time jobs (+/- twice as many) and both older men and women (45 years and older) are more employed part time than younger men and women (age 25-44). In the category of full time employment, there appears to be a declining number of younger men (since about 1990) employed relative to full time older men who appear to have made and kept the biggest percentage gains in job acquisition. With full time employed women the story is similar except that BOTH younger and older women have made large percentage gains in getting employment and for 20 years during the period between 1983-2003, younger women were getting more jobs than older men. If the trend continues of greater productivity through technological advance and the wage disparity between men and women is not erased, we could see more full time jobs auctioned off to women who live longer than men. The chart above (updated annually) is also located on the Earnings Page. Comments are closed.

History, Charts & Curated Readings"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement; and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana Vol. I, Reason in Common Sense Archives

"History, real solemn history, I cannot be interested in.... I read it a little as a duty; but it tells me nothing that does not either vex or weary me. The quarrels of popes and kings, with wars and pestilences in every page; the men all so good for nothing, and hardly any women at all - it is very tiresome." Jane Austen spoken by Catherine Morland in 'Northanger Abbey'
