Employment Equity Demographic Snapshot 2023–2024

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

Preamble

This snapshot provides key employment equity demographics for Canada’s core public administration and supplements the Employment Equity in the Public Service of Canada for Fiscal Year 2023 to 2024 report.

The Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer (OCHRO) works in partnership with departments and agencies to collect, analyze, and share core public administration employment equity workforce data to identify current trends and gaps, with a focus on ensuring that the public service is diverse and inclusive and reflects the population it serves.

About the data

Representation data

Source: Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) – Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer (OCHRO). Employment Equity Data Bank (EEDB) and Pay system as of March 31st, 2024, or as of March 31st of other specified years.
Internal representation for Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities is based on those who have voluntarily chosen to self-identify in one of the respective employment equity designated groups, while sex information is taken from the Pay system.
The data covers employees identified for the purpose of employment equity in the Regulations to the Employment Equity Act.
The information includes indeterminates, terms of three months or more, and seasonal employees of organizations captured under the Financial Administration Act, Schedules I and IV (core public administration).
Excluded from this information are: employees on leave without pay, terms less than three months, students and casual workers, Governor in Council appointees, Ministers’ exempt staff, federal judges and deputy ministers.
The Law Management (LC) group has been included as part of the executive workforce.
The sum of designated groups does not equal the total ("all employees") because employees may have chosen to self-identify in more than one designated group.
Black employees are a subset of the members of visible minorities group.
Official language information (language requirements of the position and linguistic status of incumbents) is from the Position and classification information system. Please note that because the Pay system is the source for the base population, the data shown here will not match that shown in the Official Languages Annual Report.
"Hires" refer to employees who were added to the public service of Canada payroll between April 1 and March 31 of each given fiscal year.
Data on "promotions" are obtained from the Public Service Commission of Canada and include information from departments and agencies that fall under both the Financial Administration Act, Schedules I and IV, and the Public Service Employment Act.
"Separations" refer to employees who left the public service of Canada payroll between April 1 and March 31 of each given fiscal year. Please note that the data on "separations" includes employees who separated while on leave without pay.

Workforce availability (WFA)

Workforce availability (WFA) estimates are used as a benchmark to assess the representativeness of employment equity designated groups within the core public administration in accordance with the Employment Equity Act.
WFA estimates are based on information from the Census of Canada and the Canadian Survey on Disability.
WFA estimates have been updated and since March 2022 include Canadian citizens and permanent residents in occupations in the Canadian workforce that correspond to occupations in the core public administration. Estimates prior to March 2022 only included Canadian citizens.
The latest estimates of workforce availability are based on information from the 2021 Census of Canada and the 2022 Canadian Survey on Disability and include both Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
The WFA estimate for executives for persons with disabilities is based on all Canadians due to the small sample size.

National labour market availability (LMA)

The labour market availability (LMA) estimates are based on information from the 2021 Census of Canada and the 2022 Canadian Survey on Disability.
LMA estimates include Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
LMA estimates for executives for persons with disabilities are based on all Canadians due to the small sample size.
Executive LMA is based on the combination of "senior managers" and "middle and other managers".

Note: Figures in square brackets represent the change since March 2023.

Employment equity representation in the core public administration

The Canadian public service aims to reflect the population it serves, from entry levels to senior leadership and across the various classification groups.

In the public service, four filters (citizenship/residency, classification, education and geography) are applied to the labour market availability (LMA) data to arrive at workforce availability (WFA), the employment equity benchmark used for the core public administration.

Table 1: Employment equity representation in the core public administration for all employees and executives – with workforce availability (WFA) and labour market availability (LMA)

Employment equity designated group	Overall - representation	Overall - WFA	Overall - national LMA	Executives - representation	Executives - WFA	Executives – national LMA
Women	56.9%	55.3%	48.3%	55.1%	42.2%	39.2%
Indigenous Peoples	5.3%	4.1%	4.3%	5.5%	3.9%	3.0%
Persons with disabilities	7.9%	12.0%	12.6%	9.7%	5.3%	6.7%
Members of visible minorities	22.9%	22.7%	24.9%	16.4%	15.8%	20.6%
Note: The latest estimates of workforce availability and labour market availability are based on information from the 2021 Census of Canada and the 2022 Canadian Survey on Disability.

3 of the 4 employment equity designated groups are above the WFA: women, Indigenous Peoples and members of visible minorities.

At the executive level, all four employment equity designated groups are above the WFA.

Representation of women, Indigenous Peoples and persons with disabilities exceed the national LMA while representation of members of visible minorities is lower than the national LMA at both the overall and executive level.

Overall, employment equity representation of women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities across the public service has been improving, but there is much more work to be done.

Table 2 Notes Table 2 Note 1 The 2016 Census and 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability expanded the definition of “persons with disabilities” to include disabilities relating to pain and mental health. Please note that the employment equity data collected for the public service was not based on this expanded definition.
