Growing Gap Project
Solutions for a fairer, more equal Canada
The CCPA’s Growing Gap project takes an in-depth and sustained look at one of the biggest challenges of our time: Worsening income and wealth inequality in Canada. Our team of economists and researchers have been tracking household income, wealth, spending and credit data, unearthing a troubling phenomenon.
- The pay gap between CEOs and minimum wage workers is far too big.
- The income gap between the rich and the rest of us is stubbornly high.
- We need to narrow the income gap between white workers and Indigenous, racialized, and immigrant workers.
- Poverty is far too high for such a wealthy country as Canada.
