When women have equal access to education, skills training, and safe and inclusive workplaces, everyone benefits. Affordable child care, opportunities in growing sectors like AI and the green economy, and measures that help women succeed at work strengthen Canada’s talent pool, address labour shortages, boost productivity, and build a stronger economy.

Expanding affordable child care has helped increase Canada’s GDP by over 1% since 2019, adding roughly $32 billion, and enabling more parents, especially women, to work.
