The Canadian Research Data Centre Network (CRDCN) is pleased to announce the recipients of research funding from Women and Gender Equality Canada for four individual projects and one team project.
The researchers will use the rich microdata available through CRDCN’s Research Data Centre (RDC) program to produce research reports in defined priority areas in order to support Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE) evidence-based policy and program activities. WAGE has funded a total of $165,000 for the approved research projects.
CRDCN and WAGE had identified the following research/policy themes:
Training, trajectories and leaves
Labour markets and opportunity
Intergenerational transmission of poverty
Decision making at work and home
Inclusive economic development
The intersectional impacts of climate change on diverse populations
This initiative supports the advancement of research and evidence-based policy and programming, with project topics giving focus to: immigrant care worker trajectories and intersectional inequalities; the gender wage gap in health, social and STEM fields; unemployment transitions, workplace norms and parental leave imbalances; and gendered dimensions of intergenerational social mobility.

ABOUT WAGE
The mandate of the Department of Women and Gender Equality is to advance equality with respect to sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression through the inclusion of people of all genders, including women, in Canada’s economic, social, and political life. This application of a gender and diversity lens will help us to understand better the intersection of sex and gender with other identity factors. These factors include – but are not limited to – race, national and ethnic origin, Indigenous origin or identity, age, sexual orientation, socio-economic condition, place of residence and disability.
