加拿大另类政策中心(Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives)的一份研究报告，根据女性和男性在5个领域的表现和境遇：经济保障、领导职位、健康、个人安全和教育，对加拿大最大的25个城市进行了排名。
根据这项研究，对女性来说，维多利亚是最佳城市，安省的Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo是最差城市，多伦多名列第12位。
该中心表示，这项研究的目的是每年对各城市女性和男性之间存在的差异进行评估，并提醒决策者：采取合适的政策，这些差异是可以消除的。
多伦多：
经济保障排名第9位，教育程度排名第21位，健康排名第21位，领导职位排名第10位，个人安全排名第9位，总体排名第12位。
Economic Security
Employment rates in Toronto are in line with the national average as is thegap in men’s and women’s levels of employment, with an employment rate of 67% for men and 59% for women. The median wage gap is also average, with women earning 77% of what men earn overall. However, when only full-time workers are considered, Toronto goes farther than most cities in narrowing the gap, with full-time women workers earning 84% of the averagefull-time male income.
Toronto has one of the highest rates of poverty of the 25 cities measured and the gap in men’s and women’s levels of poverty is larger than average, with 16% of men and 18% of women living below the Low Income Measure.
Educational Attainment
Women in Toronto are more likely than men to have completed high school, college or university. Toronto has one of the most highly educated populations, coming second only to Ottawa, with 28% of women and men holding university degrees. Men are more likely than women to have completed trades training and apprenticeships (7% compared with 4%).
Leadership
Women make up a third of all elected officials in the City of Toronto and its outlying regional municipalities. Women fare better outside of politics, making up 36% of senior managers in the city.
Health
Life expectancy in Toronto is higher than the Canadian average and, as is typically the case, women live slightly longer lives (85 years compared to 80 for men). Men are more likely than women to rate their health as very good or excellent (64% compared with 54%), and women in Toronto are slightly more likely to report high levels of stress in their lives (29% compared with 26% among men). Rates of screening for cervical cancer are average, with 66% of women reporting they had a Pap smear in the last three years.
Personal Security
The rates of sexual assault and intimate partner violence reported to the police in Toronto are lower than average. The police recorded 2,253 incidents of sexual and domestic
violence perpetrated against women in 2013 in Toronto. However, because 90% and 70% of all incidents of sexual and domestic violence respectively go unreported, these numbers do not reflect actual levels of violence. Police-reported levels of violence are also influenced by municipal police practices.
The most accurate way to measure levels of sexual and domestic violence is through self-reporting surveys. The current surveys don’t sample a large enough portion of the population to provide estimates at the municipal level. Provincially, 6.2% of Ontarians report having experienced domestic violence in the past five years and 2.4% report having experienced a sexual assault in the same period.
