International Women’s Day 2021

International Women’s Day is an opportunity to put a spotlight on the contributions of women to our country. Canada is home to many diverse population groups who enrich our society in a variety of ways. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic highlights the many ways these groups strengthen our society. Unfortunately, it has also created new challenges, particularly for women, as they have faced increased work at home and significant losses in the labour market. Several recent publications detail the impact of COVID-19 on women and how women are adjusting to these challenges.
