Book The  who  What  when and Where  of Gender Pay Differentials

Download or read book The who What when and Where of Gender Pay Differentials written by Marie Drolet and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper addresses the "who, what, when and where" of pay differentials between the sexes. The "who" addresses the characteristics of the individual worker. The "what" focuses on the tasks of the worker. The "when" addresses the employment contract between the worker and the workplace. And the "where" considers the contribution of specific workplace characteristics--such as high-performance workplace systems, foreign ownership, non-profit organizations, training expenditures per employee, workplace part-time rate, and the educational requirements of the job--to these pay differentials. No previous Canadian study has examined the male-female earnings differential in this context.

Book Occupational Gender Composition and Wages in Canada  1987 1988

Download or read book Occupational Gender Composition and Wages in Canada 1987 1988 written by Michael Baker and published by CIRANO. This book was released on 1999 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between occupational gender composition and wages is the basis of pay equity/comparable worth legislation. A number of previous studies have examined this relationship in US data, identifying some of the determinants of low wages in ``female jobs'' well as important limitations of public policy in this area. There is little evidence, however, from other jurisdictions. This omission is particularly disturbing in the case of Canada, which now has some of the most extensive pay equity legislation in the world. In this paper we provide a comprehensive picture, circa the late 1980's, of the occupational gender segregation in Canada and its consequences for wages. The sample period precedes many provincial pay equity initiatives and thus the results should provide a baseline for the evaluation of this legislation. We find that the estimated wage penalties in female jobs in Canada are generally much smaller than the estimates for the United States. Although there is some heterogeneity across worker groups on average, the link between female wages and gender composition is small and not statistically significant.

Book excerpt: Using data from the 1989 Canadian Labour Market Activity Survey and, for Australia, the 1989-90 Income Distribution Survey, the authors investigate the reasons for the significantly lower gender wage gap in Australia than in Canada. Key similarities and differences between these two countries, the authors argue, make them a good basis for a "natural experiment" to investigate the effects of different labor market institutions. In particular, Australia has a stronger union movement and a greater degree of centralization in wage determination than Canada, and most of its workers are covered by legally binding minimum working conditions. The authors conclude that several differences between the countries in labor market structure--notably, a lower rate of return to education, a lower rate of return to labor market experience, and a lower level of wage inequality in Australia than in Canada--are largely responsible for the smaller gender wage gap in Australia.
