The wealth inequality between the sexes in Quebec

There is a significant wealth gap between men and women in this province, with men having an average wealth of approximately $275,000 and women having an average wealth of about $200,000, representing a gap of around 30%. This gap is more pronounced among those in relationships, with married or cohabiting couples showing a larger disparity. The study, conducted by Maude Pugliese, a professor at the National Institute of Scientific Research, reveals this wealth divide, which goes beyond the commonly discussed pay gap. These findings highlight the importance of addressing the root causes of the wealth gap and implementing policies that promote financial equality for all.

The wealth gap between genders, particularly between the wealthiest men and women, is significant. While income may not be the primary cause, other factors such as inheritance and investment choices play a role. For instance, the top 1% of men in terms of wealth have assets valued at approximately twice that of women in the same percentage bracket. This gap persists even when comparing wealth at the same income level. The study aims to further investigate these factors, particularly inheritance patterns and investment choices, to better understand the causes of this gender wealth gap.
