My latest for @policyoptions.irpp.org: Canada's wealth stats hide women's economic vulnerability. They document household wealth, not how it's split within families. Property ownership in modern unions is individualized and unequal. Our data must catch up. policyoptions.irpp.org/2026/06/gend...

Canada needs individual wealth data to close the gender wealth gap

Canada’s household wealth data mask how assets are divided inside couples. Statistics Canada should start measuring individual ownership.

Women still hold less #wealth than men across Canadian provinces. Why is that? How does this wealth gap vary from one province to another? And what do these findings tell us about the role of public policy and the data we currently have to measure #inequality? Learn more in 3 minutes 👇

How do we prevent this? Act upstream. I proposed three avenues: stronger income and family support programs; more low-cost credit options for lower-income groups; and better information for people going through transitions (job loss, birth of a child) about the benefits they're entitled to.

Parents and caregivers (particularly mothers), people who lost their job or can't work due to illness, and those with chronically low incomes are most affected.

What drives these struggles? Borrowing as a last resort through high-cost #credit products, because it's the only option or because alternatives are unknown.

Despite growing debt levels, not everyone struggles to repay, but a significant minority does. About 10% of people with debt experience acute repayment difficulties, and 18% experience them occasionally (Quebec, 2022).

When cohabitation becomes a true alternative to marriage, the economic sorting that marriage historically produced can weaken considerably, and its link with broader patterns of wealth inequality shifts. Comments and feedback are very welcome. Feel free to share! #familysociology #wealthInequality

These findings stress that marriage's wealth advantages are not hardwired into the institution itself. They are shaped by cultural and institutional contexts.

Maude Pugliese @maudepugliese.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Consistent across gender: These patterns appear to hold for both men and women, pointing to broad cultural change in how partnership forms relate to economic outcomes.

Maude Pugliese @maudepugliese.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Reduced marriage premiums: Marriage itself generates smaller wealth gains in Quebec, particularly for men, suggesting that the economic advantages of marriage may erode when alternative union forms gain equal social standing.

Maude Pugliese @maudepugliese.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Weakened wealth-marriage selection: This shift appears driven primarily by a weakened association between wealth and marriage entry in Quebec. When marriage is no longer the cultural default, financial resources matter less for who ends up marrying.

Key findings ➡️ Narrowing wealth gaps: The marriage-cohabitation wealth gap declined substantially in French-speaking #Quebec since the 1990s, while remaining stable elsewhere. By 2019, the gap had in fact essentially disappeared in French Quebec.

Maude Pugliese @maudepugliese.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

I use #Canada as a comparative case. I contrast French-speaking Québec, where cohabitation has become a legitimate alternative to marriage for long-term unions, with other provinces and Québec's anglophones, where cohabitation diffused primarily as a longer transitional stage towards marriage.

110 0

Maude Pugliese @maudepugliese.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

I argue that whether cohabitation erodes marriage’s historical wealth advantage (or leaves it unchanged) depends on how and why it spreads: as a long-term alternative to marriage, a longer transitional stage, or a response to economic insecurity.

5/5 It may still be too early for the effects of Québec’s policies on wealth gaps to be fully observable. We need research to keep tracking interprovincial trends going forward. More importantly, Canada needs individual-level data to better understand and address enduring gender wealth gaps.

Maude Pugliese @maudepugliese.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

4/5 Did the family policy implemented in Québec in the 2000s improve wealth gaps? The evidence is mixed. Non-pension wealth gaps declined more in Québec than in several other provinces, but Ontario experienced similar improvements, suggesting that other factors may also have been at play.

2/5 We know relatively little about gender wealth gaps in Canada because wealth data are primarily collected at the household level, which conceals within-family inequalities. To address this issue, we used a machine learning approach to estimate individual-level wealth for men and women.
