- 1. Women in Canada: Work Chapter Updates ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 89F0133XGeography: CanadaDescription:
This report provides annual updates to the data presented in the labour force chapter in the Statistics Canada publication Women in Canada 2000 (catalogue no. 89-503-XPE, October 2000) which documents the major changes in the evolving status of women in Canada. Topics covered in this report include trends in employment, shifts in the occupational distribution of women, part-time work, self-employment and unemployment rates.
Release date: 2007-04-20 - Articles and reports: 81-003-X20000035715Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study explores why female university students, who outnumber male students, remain underrepresented in several professions, including engineering.
Release date: 2001-06-08 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2001157Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article uses data from the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) to investigate the extent to which factors not previously explored in the Canadian context account for wage differences between men and women. Like other studies using standard decomposition techniques and controlling for a variety of productivity-related characteristics, the results demonstrate that men still enjoy a wage advantage over women: women's average hourly wage rate is about 84% - 89% of the men's average. Unlike other studies, controls for work experience and job-related responsibilities are used. Gender differences in full-year, full-time work experience explain at most, 12% of the gender wage gap. Gender differences in the opportunity to supervise and to perform certain tasks account for about 5% of the gender wage gap. Yet despite the long list of productivity related factors, a substantial portion of the gender wage gap cannot be explained.
Many studies rely on measures such as age or potential experience (= age minus number of years of schooling minus six) as a proxy for actual labour market. Neither of these measures account for complete withdrawals from the labour market nor for restrictions on the number of hours worked per week or on the number of weeks worked per year due to family-related responsibilities. The results show that proxies for experience yield larger adjusted gender wage gaps than when actual experience is used.
