Abstract
Despite the existence of a number of studies analysing the gender pay gap in the job market as a whole, less
is known about this issue in cultural and creative markets, in which the employment conditions lack stability,
and many of the jobs are “hidden” because of part-time, unpaid, and/or portfolio work conditions. These
characteristics are expected to be exacerbated in the early stages of careers so that, in this case, the gender
pay gap might display specific singularities. This paper specifically investigates this issue by analysing data
from the “Young People Making a Living in the Creative Industries” research project, a survey conducted from
April to September 2016 in Canada. The results confirm the existence of a gender pay gap, but in a totally
unexpected way
