Ratio of female to male labor force participation rate (%) (national estimate)
Ratio of female to male labor force participation rate (%) (national estimate) in Canada was 87.07 as of 2021. Its highest value over the past 60 years was 88.02 in 2018, while its lowest value was 38.02 in 1961.
Definition: Labor force participation rate is the proportion of the population ages 15 and older that is economically active: all people who supply labor for the production of goods and services during a specified period. Ratio of female to male labor force participation rate is calculated by dividing female labor force participation rate by male labor force participation rate and multiplying by 100.
