The plight of men in traditional industries has become increasingly apparent in Canada, whether it is in manufacturing or the natural resources sector.
A fifteen-year long study by Statistics Canada has concluded that male employment has declined substantially as the manufacturing sector retreats across Canada, with men in Ontario seeing suffering the most.
The study, looking at data from 2000 to 2015, found that the number of men aged 21 to 55 employed full-time declined by 5% nationwide, in line with declines in the manufacturing sector.
