Gender Inequality in Canada's Hospitality Trade

Paper Summary:

This paper establishes an understanding of gender inequality in the hospitality industry in Canada. The paper identifies the reasons why men dominate managerial positions in Canada, discusses reasons for preferential treatment for men in the hospitality industry, and examines potential motivations for females to pursue managerial positions and any obstacles they face.

From the Paper:

"In conclusion, Canadian women face discrimination based not only on their gender, but also on race, age, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation. Yet many continue to pursue management positions in the service and hospitality industries for numerous reasons, including higher pay, better job security, more benefits and a more respectable title. The absence of human resource policies and strategies in many companies in this field is a deterrent to gender diversity. The work environment and culture are not conducive to promoting women in management. This prevents women's accessibility to top management positions. For example, there are no programs to facilitate the advancement of women as role models, absence of mentoring programs, and lack of management training programs."
