Underrepresented & Underpaid: Diversity & Equity among Canada's Post-Secondary Education Teachers
Canadian Association of University Teachers
While post-secondary institutions are publicly committed to equity and diversity, progress has been slow in achieving employment and wage equity for academic staff. This report provides a snapshot of academic staff representation and income in Canada's universities and colleges in 2016, noting in particular changes in the university sector over the last decade. While available data is limited, it does reveal that the academic workforce is not as diverse as either the student body or the labour force. Evidence also shows significant wage gaps: between men and women; and between white, Aboriginal and racialized academic staff.
