Mr. Speaker, I have Return to Written Question 17-16(2) asked by Ms. Wendy Bisaro on Wednesday, June 4, 2008, regarding the ratio of female and male employees affected by the 2008–2009 budget reductions.
The numbers and percentages of male and female affected employees are proportionate to the breakdown of female and male employees within the public service where the workforce, excluding casuals, is comprised of 63.6 per cent females and 36.4 per cent males. The numbers are very representative of the public service workforce.
The numbers and percentages are based on the number of affected employees on August 13, 2008, and include those employees in positions where an internal competition to determine which position would be affected is required. The numbers do not include employees who have terminated their employment or have accepted new positions.
1) Of the total number of affected employees
there are 21 women.
2) Women represent 66 per cent of the total
affected employees.
3) Of the total number of affected employees,
there are eight single women.
4) Single women represent 25 per cent of the
total affected employees.
5) Of the total affected employees there are
three single men.
6) Single men represent 0.09 per cent of the
total affected employees.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
