The Canadian government has launched Equi’Vision, a new tool that aims to shed light on the barriers to equity experienced by women, Indigenous peoples, people with disabilities, and members of visible minorities in federally regulated private sector industries.
It provides data on workforce representation rates and pay gaps, making Canada the first country in the world to make this level of information publicly available.
The unveiling of Equi’Vision marks a significant step towards fostering inclusive workplaces across Canada, said Ottawa. By making this data publicly available, the government aims to prompt action from businesses and encourage collective efforts in addressing persistent issues related to pay gaps and representation.
