This section provides a glimpse into the day-to-day lives of people working in Canada’s child care sector. The people profiled here share a deep commitment to early learning and child care.
Merriam-Webster defines “demographics” as the statistical characteristics of human populations such as age or income. An example of a demographic collected in human resources is gender, which may include all employees within a particular job, e.g., Early Childhood Educator. Other demographics include age, length of service and educational level.
Ninety-six per cent of child care workers in the regulated child care sector are female. Since the ECEC sector is female-dominated, gender equity is not about strategies for encouraging more equal representation of women. It's not even focused on increasing representation of women in managerial ranks.
