We need to talk more about education.

i am a bit weary of these reports - they always seem to be skewed to make some points favorable to who the reports are direct for, and who writes the reports

well my question is who are Canadian-born folks?

on a macro level i can agree with the notion of higher education = better opportunities = higher pay = promotion

but that particular report failed to capture other information. people with disability pre and post university does not affect their employability status, put some color on the canadians, then look at the statistics.

women in the past 20 years have advance from 40 cents to 61 cents, in comparison with the male earning $1.00. is this the advantage we are talking about in the report

there is distortions in higher education, the genders are disproportionately represented in some areas of studies for example engineering, geography. what it means that one gender cannot access professional engineering jobs that have higher pay so an entire sector is beyond their reach - yes

so i am glad we are all having university education now, and the wages have risen - my problem is the rise in pay in reation to education is not the same thing for the genders

so first i want to accuse the position of that article for promoting the positon of education and money to male dominate audience

look women are accessing the law and accounting profession equal to men somehow they remain where they entered in junior capacity with only limited chance for senior advancement.

you know the one explanation given was it is a relatively new phenomenon that women are entering into these professions.

and plus it takes a while to make partnership in the case of lawyers.

it shows clearly how the males still would like keep their power and keep others out of the boy’s network, and keep the real meetings in the male washrooms, and at their lockers.

it is also a very disturbing rationalization for women, as historically they were not given the opportunity to become a professional or access education, and now they are faced further with the same stumbling barriers to advance and bridge a gap of wages.

We have a high school litery test in grade 10, and I think it's a good thing we have it.
