I would first say that UCASS does provide a very rich data source on the analysis of gender pay gaps, but we do recognize that there are variables that we are missing from UCASS with respect to pay equity on racialized populations, indigenous identity and persons with disabilities, so I do believe collecting this information and having a centralized repository of this information across Canada would help in terms of furthering the analysis.
Currently there are a number of areas across Canada, be they in institutions or with funding agencies, that collect this information, but there is not one centralized repository. I do feel that having that information centralized and available would be very beneficial in furthering the studies, particularly the intersectional studies with respect to pay gaps.
