Welcome to Level the Paying Field where we explore issues related to economics, equity, women, work and money. This series of conversations explores topics impacting women working in Ontario and is published by Ontario’s Pay Equity Office. Part of our inspiration for launching this series was how, in the midst of a global pandemic which disproportionally impacted women around the world, global multilateral organizations came together to inaugurate the first ever International Equal Pay Day on September 18th 2020. This was an initiative led by United Nations members including Australia, Canada, Germany, Iceland, New Zealand, Panama, South Africa and Switzerland with a total of 105 UN member states co-sponsoring the resolution to establish September 18th as “International Equal Pay Day”.
Through this series, we hope to elevate the equity conversation to make the world a more equitable place for women to work, live, and thrive, and support closing the gender wage gap.Podcast in English only.

Beyond the Gallery Wall: Advocating for Gender Equity in the Arts
When you walk into an art gallery, whose stories are being told—and whose are left out?  

Kadie Philp sits down with artist and mother Alexa Mazzarello to explore the persistent gender disparities in the art world, from pay inequity to the underrepresentation of female artists in major collections and leadership roles.

Level Up: Women’s Role in the Gaming Industry
When you picture a gamer, who comes to mind? If a woman wasn’t your first thought, it’s time to rethink the stereotype.  

Women now make up nearly half of all gamers in Canada, and their growing presence is reshaping the industry—not just as players, but as developers, designers, and decision-makers.  

Kadie Philp talks with Dr. Andrea Braithwaite, senior teaching professor at Ontario Tech University and Vice President of the Canadian Game Studies Association, to explore the evolution of female representation in video games, the barriers women still face in the industry, and what needs to change for true gender equity.

Breaking Barriers: Haley Daniels on Gender Equity in Sports
What does it take to break barriers in sports?  

Kadie Philp is joined by Olympian and trailblazer Haley Daniels to share her fight for gender equity in women's canoeing—both in getting it recognized as an Olympic sport and in securing equal funding and representation.  

From facing blatant discrimination to proving that women’s sports are just as marketable and competitive, Haley's journey is a reflection of how equity in sports mirrors broader societal struggles and why true change requires everyone’s support.    

They unpack the systemic challenges female athletes still face today, including the persistent gender pay gap, lack of sponsorship, and media biases.

Lights, Camera, Equality: TV’s Role in Social Change
Have you ever considered how your favourite TV show influences the way you see gender roles?  

Kadie Philp sits down with Dr. Andrea Braithwaite, a senior teaching professor at Ontario Tech University, to explore how television has shaped—and been shaped by—women’s roles in society. 

From the pioneering influence of I Love Lucy to the feminist power of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the cultural impact of Schitt’s Creek, they discuss how television has both reinforced and challenged gender norms.  

They also examine how technological shifts—like the rise of streaming services—have changed the way stories about women are told, and how Canadian TV plays a unique role in pushing the conversation forward.  

Plus, they tackle the ongoing fight for pay equity in Hollywood and the power of storytelling in driving real-world social change.

Season two of Level the Paying Field seeks to uncover hidden biases in the labour market and illuminate how to confront and eliminate them. In order to level the paying field, join us in elevating the equity conversation to make the world a more equitable place for women to work, live and thrive and support closing the gender wage gap.

La série « Équité salariale : des règles de rémunération équitables! » est une série de six épisodes dans laquelle on cherche à démasquer les facteurs invisibles de la disparité salariale entre les sexes. Cette émission est animée par Kadie Ward, commissaire à l’équité salariale et directrice générale de l’administration (DGA) à la Commission de l’équité salariale de l’Ontario.

Il a fallu plus de 20 ans pour réduire de 8 % l’écart salarial entre les hommes et les femmes. Des progrès ont été réalisés, mais l’écart persiste, en partie parce que 70 % de celui-ci reste inexpliqué. Joignez‑vous à nous pour examiner les facteurs invisibles associés à l’écart salarial entre les hommes et les femmes avec des spécialistes et des personnes de renom du milieu de la recherche.

Lors de la deuxième saison de la série « Équité salariale : des règles de rémunération équitables! », on entend mettre au jour les préjugés cachés sur le marché du travail et expliquer comment leur faire face et les éliminer. Joignez‑vous à nous pour nourrir la discussion sur l’équité salariale afin de faire du monde un endroit plus juste où les femmes peuvent travailler, vivre et s’épanouir, et pour soutenir la réduction de l’écart salarial entre les hommes et les femmes.

Women, Work, and Inequity and Women of the Pandemic | Les femmes, Le travail et L’iniquité et les femmes de la pandémie
The story of the pandemic was different for women.  Author and Journalist Lauren McKeon argues that, in many ways, the story of the pandemic is the story of women.  In her most recent book, Women of the Pandemic, she documents how “women have never before played such a vital, essential role in a global crisis,” and that “they’ve also been the ones who suffered the most”. Lauren’s research covers gender inequalities, gender and power, gender and inclusion, as well as racialized aspects of both gender and power for working women. In this conversation Lauren shares what her research has uncovered about women, work and inequity. Podcast in English only. Visit website for transcripts. GUEST: Lauren McKeon, Deputy Editor at Reader’s Digest Canada and the author of Women of the Pandemic: Stories from the Front Lines of COVID-19.L’histoire de la pandémie a été différente pour les femmes.

Les recherches de Lauren portent sur les inégalités entre les sexes, les sexes et le pouvoir, les sexes et l’inclusion, ainsi que sur les aspects racialisés des sexes et du pouvoir pour les femmes qui travaillent.
