The gender pay gap is the amount of money earned by women for every dollar earned by men. The gender wage gap measures the difference between what women and men are paid. It is calculated by comparing the salaries earned by men and women and expressing this difference as either a percentage or in monetary terms. This ratio highlights the disparity in earnings between men and women. According to average annual salaries, there was a 29 percent difference in Manitoba in 2019 between men and women, with men earning $52,800 compared to women’s $37,500.
