The CHRC ignores the variability of hours worked between men and women. A study of the Ontario Pay Equity Act about a decade after its implementation reduced the pay gap to 2-3% once hours worked were standardized.
This is another instance of our Human Rights Tribunals taking actions outside their jurisdiction and competance. The complaint about no data for non-binary occupations fails because the Canadian Pay Equity Act reporting gathers data based on its definitions of female-dominant and male-dominant occupations. Those are the comparisons that required pay equity adjustments to female-dominant occupations in the '90s.
I see this as another instance of bureaucratic capture by "progressive" beliefs, previously termed "woke" (apparently now out of favour among progressives). The CHRC has responsibilities to adjudicate workplace complaints of discrimination. Anything else is "progressive" make work.
"At the heart of this submission is a stark economic reality that defies the country’s reputation for equity. In 2023, for every dollar a man earned in Canada, a woman earned 87 cents. This figure is not merely a statistic; it is a barometer of a society where the machinery of equality has stalled." With the women the clear majority in nearly all categories of post secondary education; with younger men in the clear majority with gambling addictions and gaming; with women marrying 'down', to a man having less education and making less money; with more and more men involved with family child care; I find it challenging to discern a context for this very real stat.
Maybe we need to purge the neoMarxist/progressive elements from Canadian bureaucracy? The "gendered pay gap" is a zombie feminist talking point which has been repeatedly debunked of basic economics often yet it keeps rising from the graveyard of lies. Having our bureaucracy trying repeated to prove this disinformation is a waste of our taxes, time and resources.
Individual choice explains the perceived "gap" easily. Two equal candidates (one female, one male) working at the same job with the same qualifications receive exactly the same wages. There is no gap. If the female works overtime, she received more wages. Is that a wage gap?
In order to manufacture the zombie talking point, feminists compare dissimilar jobs. A receptionist and a electrician make different wages... how shocking!! (pun intended) There aren't many male receptionists but they make the same wage as a female receptionist. There aren't many female linesmen but guess what? Same wage as the males!!
Adding in the intersectional stack only proves the same point: individual choice explains the perceived "gap" all the same. The author of the linked article is a black economist, author & professor who has been pointing out these truths for decades.
