The average hourly wage rate for Canadian-born women working part time is significantly greater than that of Canadian-born men (p less than 0.05) in each year. There is no difference between the average hourly wage rates of immigrant women who landed as children and Canadian-born men working part time (p less than 0.05) in each year.
