Studies show that countries with more women in government have healthier populations
In November 2015, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau formed the first gender-balanced cabinet in Canadian history. In announcing his cabinet, he ensured that half of his closest advisers (15 out of a total of 30) were women.
Canada's gender-equal cabinet vaulted the country from 20th to fifth place in the world in terms of percentage of women in ministerial positions.
