TORONTO – Although 83 % of canadians believe in their ability to achieve their professional goals, 35 % of them think that belonging to a minority can be a barrier to progress their careers, according to a survey from the consulting firm PWC Canada.

The survey, unveiled Thursday on the occasion of the international Day of the rights of women, reveals that Canadian women are confident and ambitious about their careers, and this in spite of the persistent obstacles.

“As leaders, we play an important role in accelerating progress towards gender equality and the advancement of women. We need to inform and inform our teams about the unconscious prejudices that we maintain a constructive dialogue on the challenges and opportunities of greater inclusion, and to mentor and sponsor the best female talent,” said Bill McFarland, head of inclusion at PwC Canada.

Work and private life

According to the stroke of the probe, 38 % of the respondents have entrusted to be concerned about the negative impact that a family could have on their career. And 36 % worry that their use of the program flexibility to achieve a balance of “work-life balance” makes it appear as less committed to their career.

The survey was conducted with 237 Canadian, aged between 28 and 40 years.
