“Occupational segregation trends in Canada” (2020-present)
Monica Boyd (University of Toronto) and I are tracking occupational segregation trends by gender, race, and migrant status in Canada. Using Canadian census data and various measures of occupational segregation, we are revisiting the topic of gender occupational segregation, which has stalled in the 2000s in Canada. We also provide new insights into contemporary occupational segregation patterns by gender, race, and migrant status in three emerging sources of inequality: motherhood, part-time/full-time work status, and migrant entry class.
This research project has received a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) Insight Development Grant ($67,900).
