Making Women Count
It’s time to close the gender gap
Making Women Count measures the size of Canada’s gender gap and offers solutions to the inequalities that persist between women and men in Canada. Closing the gender gap in Canada will provide a significant engine for long-term economic growth, as well as an immediate increase in the social and economic well-being of women, girls and gender-diverse people in Canada.
