| Intersectional analysis of the labour market impacts of COVID on women with young children and in low-skilled jobsPurpose This paper analyzes the differential experiences of women in the Canadian labour market who hold lower-skilled jobs and have school-age children during two waves of Covid compared with more typical conditions pre-pandemic. The article seeks to test the hypothesis that workers at the intersection of womanhood, motherhood and precarious employment would endure even more disadvantageous labour market outcomes during the Covid pandemic than they did prior to it. Design/methodology/approach We employ a Gender-Based Plus (GBA+) and intersectionality lens to examine the differential effect of Covid on the effect of the trifecta of being a woman in a lower-skilled job and facing a motherhood penalty from school-age children. We use a Difference-in-Difference framework with Canadian Labour Force Survey (LFS) data to examine the differential effect of two waves of Covid on three labour market outcomes: employment, hours worked and hourly wages. Findings We find that being a woman in a lower-skilled job with school-age children is associated with lower employment, hours worked and wages in normal times compared to males in those same situations. Such women also face the most severe adjustment consequence from the Covid shock, with that adjustment concentrated on the margin of employment and restricted to the First Wave and not the subsequent Omicron Wave. Originality/value The paper studies a specific intersectional group, assesses pre-pandemic, peak-pandemic and late-pandemic differences in labour market outcomes and runs separate estimations for different job skill levels. We also study a more comprehensive list of labour market outcomes than most studies of a similar nature.

| Low income among Canadian seniors: interactions between immigration status, racial identity and genderPurpose Population aging is prompting concern over the viability of public pension systems in many Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations. In Canada, over the past 2 decades, one response has been to significantly increase immigration, increasing the immigrant share of the population. However, policy and academic analyses have largely overlooked the aging of the immigrant population. This study aims to document disparities in low-income rates and labour market outcomes between immigrants and non-immigrants at older ages, focusing on the intersectionality of immigration status, racial identity and gender. Design/methodology/approach We employ the 2021 Canadian Census to undertake a descriptive analysis of low-income patterns and the underlying income sources. Findings Compared to non-racialized non-immigrant men, seniors’ low-income rates increase with each of immigrant, racialized and female status – and the effects are cumulative. Low-income differences are linked to variations in prime-age employment and earnings, and access to pension benefits for immigrants. To a large extent, the gaps are driven by variations in Canada Pension Plan (CPP) benefits, mostly due to limited years of Canadian residency. Originality/value We characterize differences in low income across eight population subgroups and examine the complete set of tax-relevant income sources to understand how each underlying income stream is associated with the observed differences in low income. We emphasize the intersectionality between immigration status and racial identity, and how both vary by gender. McMaster University | Publication | 2025-02-17 | Moyosore Sogaolu, Sweetman, A. |
