Comparing the Efficiency of Gender Policy in Canada and the United States by the Female Employment Rate

Abstract

Companies in society began to focus more on gender problems and provide more privileges for women by creating policies that recruit more female employees. The efficiency of this policy differs in various fields in different countries despite almost every company utilizing this policy. By looking at the data about the changes in the number of women employees and women employees-to-all employees ratio from the 20th century to now, this research paper compares the rate of female employment changes in two countries, Canada and the United States. To indicate which country, Canada or the United States, is more efficient about the policy based on different fields, this paper used linear regressions to observe the slopes of female employment changes from 1987 to 2021 in business, health, government, trade, transportation, and manufacturing fields. This paper also identifies which area has more efficiency in using policy inside each Canada and the United States.
