Nearly one in six Veterans are women

Infographic description

The title of the infographic is "Nearly one in six Veterans are women"

This is an infographic showing the distribution of Canadian Veterans by gender for the total population aged 17 and older, including institutional residents.

The total proportion of Veteran women+ is 16.2%.

The total proportion of Veteran men+ is 83.8%.

Note(s): Given that the non-binary population is small, data aggregation to a two-category gender variable is sometimes necessary to protect the confidentiality of responses provided. In these cases, individuals in the category "non-binary persons" are distributed into the other two gender categories and are denoted by the "+" symbol. The category "Women+" includes women, as well as some non-binary persons. The category "Men+" includes men, as well as some non-binary persons.
