'OTTAWA - The last three decades have been generally good for younger Canadian women in the work force — or at least much better than their male counterparts — a new analysis suggests.

A Statistics Canada comparison of employment trends from 1981 to 2012 shows working women in the 25-34 age group have seen an across the board improvement in employment prospects over the three decades.

Young Canadian women have lower unemployment rates today than they did, more of them are employed full-time, and they are paid better in real inflation-adjusted dollars.'
