    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacy Practice
    • Sociology of Professions
    • Gender Studies

    Background:

    • Gender disparities in professional fields are a significant area of study.
    • Understanding these differences within pharmacy is crucial for career equity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate sex-based differences in income, employment status, and career progression among pharmacists in Canada.
    • To identify at what career stage these differences become apparent.

    Main Methods:

    • A random sample of practicing pharmacists from six major Canadian urban centers was surveyed.
    • Data collected included sex, region, age, marital status, education, income, and employment position.

    Main Results:

    • Women pharmacists were more likely to earn less than +20,000 annually and to be employees rather than owners.
    • No significant sex difference was observed in managerial positions for pharmacists under 30.
    • Sex-based differences in career progression and part-time employment emerged for women as they advanced professionally.

    Conclusions:

    • Gender disparities in the pharmacy profession, particularly in income and employment status, are evident.
    • These differences appear to be linked to career advancement stages.
    • Socialization, attitudinal, or structural workplace barriers may contribute to these observed sex differences.
