Women in Canada at a Glance Statistical Highlights
Introduction
Women in Canada at a Glance
The first decade of the new millennium was a period of significant change in Canada. Nowhere was this more apparent than in the lives of women and girls, whose contributions to the economy and participation in all aspects of Canadian life have been crucial to our country's success.
As its name suggests, Women in Canada at a Glance is designed to serve as both a quick source of up-to-date statistical data on women and girls in Canada and a guide to the comprehensive report from Statistics Canada and Status of Women Canada, Women in Canada: A Gender-based Statistical Report, Sixth Edition (2012).
Women in Canada at a Glance covers the crucial aspects of women's lives and provides key data highlights for optimum access and comparison by policymakers, researchers, legal experts, evaluators and others. Women in Canada at a Glance will be an invaluable tool for stakeholders from many backgrounds and disciplines.
