Female Median Income (1995$)

This map shows female median income for the female population 15 years of age and over reporting income in 1995 (not including institutional residents). The distribution of incomes above the national female median of $14 508 were most prominent in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa-Hull, Montréal, and Quebec. Based on the 1996 Census, the number of women reporting income has steadily increased over the years. In 1995, women represented nearly half of all income recipients, compared with 17% in 1990. However, women still represented the majority of workers in the 25 lowest paying occupations. Women had on average increased their purchasing power by 5% between 1980 and 1985, with an additional 12% gain over men between 1985 and 1990.
