A recent
Stats Canada survey found that:
for every woman who held a science or engineering doctorate in Canada in 2001, there were four men.
Not that surprising to me, as a female graduate student in the Faculty of Engineering. Women are still highly under-represented in science and engineering graduate studies.
Also, for each age group, earnings of female science and engineering PhDs were significantly lower than those of their male counterparts. For every dollar earned by a male doctorate holder, female doctorates earned 77 cents. In contrast, a female in the general labour force earned 71 cents for every dollar earned by a male.
Not great, but at least it's better than the general labour force! Slowly but surely I think women are starting to take advantage of opportunities for higher education in technical fields. Don't be scared girls!
On average, a scientist or engineer with a PhD employed on a full-time basis earned $70,000, nearly twice the average of $36,000 for Canada’s paid full-time workers in 2000.
