Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Canada has consistently ranked among the top countries in terms of female LFP rates, with rates above the average for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. This is largely attributed to policies and measures aimed at increasing women’s participation in the labour market.

Answer: B
 According to Statistics Canada, in 2018, only 47.1% of employed mothers with a working spouse were part of the labour force. This is lower than the overall female LFP rate in Canada.

Answer: False 
 Education is one of the key factors influencing female LFP rates, with higher levels of education associated with higher rates of labour force participation. Women in Canada with more education are more likely to participate in the labour force.

Answer: D
 Mothers who are lone parents have a higher likelihood of being in the labour force compared to mothers with employed spouses. However, this group still has lower participation rates than women without children or with non-dependent children.
