abstract: 'We use the 2012 Programme for the International Assessment of Adult
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Competencies to examine the relationship between information-processing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
skills, educational attainment, and labour market outcomes among
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Indigenous peoples in Canada. Relative to the non-Indigenous sample, we
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
find negative earnings differentials, higher unemployment, and lower
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
employment and labour market participation among Indigenous peoples, as
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
well as important differences between First Nations, Metis, and Inuit
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
workers. First Nations peoples show larger gaps in terms of earnings and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
employment outcomes. Moreover, Metis peoples show worse employment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
outcomes and negative earnings differentials in the upper part of the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
distribution. First Nations peoples also show sizable gaps in literacy,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
numeracy, and technology skill relative to the non-Indigenous sample.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not surprisingly, there is a positive relationship between
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
information-processing skills and wages. However, the returns to skills
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
are very similar for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. That is, we
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
find no evidence of economic discrimination. Once these skills are
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
conditioned on, the earnings differentials decline. We also find that
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
education can reduce skill and wage gaps, although the additional impact
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
is small. The results imply the need to consider barriers to education
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
faced by Indigenous peoples.'
