Summary
Presents results of a project to design a limited, innovative set of indicators which, taken together, would provide an overall picture of women's economic status across Canada. The indicators are based on individuals, oriented to social goals, form a measure of outcomes and benchmarks for monitoring changes, and are a limited set of aggregates that show the big picture. The report first describes how the indicators were developed and then discusses and presents the indicators in three categories: income, work, and learning. The indicators are expressed using ratios of women to men, where 1.0 represents equality, for various years between 1986 and 1995, both at the national and provincial/territorial level.
