The power of parity: Advancing women’s equality in Canada

This report builds on the bodies of research from McKinsey’s Women Matter and MGI’s The Power of Parity, positioning efforts to improve gender equality in the context of Canada’s changing economy and future needs for productivity and growth. Although Canada has made great progress toward improving the social and economic opportunities for women, challenges remain in addressing a number of areas of inequality across both work and society. In analyzing this issue for Canada, we hope to help business leaders chart the way to achieving greater gender diversity within their corporations and support all stakeholders, including policy makers, in devising effective interventions that promote equitable growth and broad-based prosperity.
