Statistics on income inequality based on the Gini index and the p90/p10 ratio on various household income concepts (market income, total income, after-tax income) for Canada, provinces and territories, census divisions and census subdivisions.

This statistic shows the Gini coefficient of Canada from 2000 to 2021. In 2021, the Gini coefficient of Canada was 0.288.

The gini index in Canada was forecast to remain on a similar level in 2029 as compared to 2024 with 0.33 points. According to this forecast, the gini will stay nearly the same over the forecast period. The Gini coefficient here measures the degree of income inequality on a scale from 0 (=total equality of incomes) to one (=total inequality).The shown data are an excerpt of Statista's Key Market Indicators (KMI). The KMI are a collection of primary and secondary indicators on the macro-economic, demographic and technological environment in more than 150 countries and regions worldwide. All input data are sourced from international institutions, national statistical offices, and trade associations. All data has been are processed to generate comparable datasets (see supplementary notes under details for more information).Find more key insights for the gini index in countries like United States and Mexico.

Gini coefficients of adjusted market, total and after-tax income, annual.

This statistic shows the Gini coefficient of provinces in Canada in 2021. In 2021, the Gini coefficient of Ontario, Canada was 0.3, making it Canada's most inequitable province in terms of after-tax income.

This table contains 172 series, with data for years 1996 - 1996 (not all combinations necessarily have data for all years), and is no longer being released. This table contains data described by the following dimensions (Not all combinations are available): Geography (173 items: Canada; Newfoundland and Labrador; Health and Community Services St. John's Region, Newfoundland and Labrador; Health and Community Services Eastern Region, Newfoundland and Labrador; ...).

Distribution of employment income of individuals by sex and work activity, Canada, provinces and selected census metropolitan areas, annual.

These datasets form the basis of an empirical inquiry into whether income inequality belongs in a macro model of voter turnout. Time series modeling suggests that the Gini coefficient enters nonlinearly in Canada and this finding is confirmed in a panel data model of Indian states.

When surveyed in September 2022, over three-quarters of Canadians believed that the government should reduce the income gap between rich and poor. This opinion was more widely shared among Canadians supporting the New Democratic Party (94 percent) and Bloc Québécois sympathizers (89 percent), than among Conservative Party supporters (58 percent) and among Canadians not supporting any particular party (74 percent).

About this dataset

Context

The dataset presents median income data over a decade or more for males and females categorized by Total, Full-Time Year-Round (FT), and Part-Time (PT) employment in New Canada town. It showcases annual income, providing insights into gender-specific income distributions and the disparities between full-time and part-time work. The dataset can be utilized to gain insights into gender-based pay disparity trends and explore the variations in income for male and female individuals.

Key observations: Insights from 2023

Based on our analysis ACS 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates, we present the following observations: - All workers, aged 15 years and older: In New Canada town, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $52,250 for males and $27,500 for females.

These income figures highlight a substantial gender-based income gap in New Canada town. Women, regardless of work hours, earn 53 cents for each dollar earned by men. This significant gender pay gap, approximately 47%, underscores concerning gender-based income inequality in the town of New Canada town.

- Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In New Canada town, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $63,125, while females earned $51,375, leading to a 19% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 81 cents for each dollar earned by men in full-time roles. This analysis indicates a widening gender pay gap, showing a substantial income disparity where women, despite working full-time, face a more significant wage discrepancy compared to men in the same roles.

Surprisingly, the gender pay gap percentage was higher across all roles, including non-full-time employment, for women compared to men. This suggests that full-time employment offers a more equitable income scenario for women compared to other employment patterns in New Canada town.

When surveyed in May 2021, nearly one-third of people living in Canada (31 percent), whether or not they have a disability, had an annual household income of between 50,000 and 100,000 Canadian dollars before taxes. However, nearly two in five Canadians with disabilities earned less than 50,000 Canadian dollars a year, compared to one in five Canadians without disabilities. Meanwhile, one-third of Canadians without disabilities earned more than 100,000 Canadian dollars a year, compared to 19 percent of people with disabilities.

In 2021, women earned an average of 0.73 Canadian dollars for every dollar earned by men in Canada, just under three quarters of the average annual employment income for men.
