abstract: 'The gender wage gap has been a subject of conversation for decades. Over
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the past 30years, many authors have examined the gender wage gap and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income inequality in Canada, but few have investigated the unique
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
circumstances which impact the various regions of the nation. Using the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Canadian Labour Force Survey data for the period 1976-2004, this study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
examines the trends in earnings of males and females in Alberta, Canada
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
by investigating the impact of differences in productivity, education,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
age, and industry on the gender wage gap. Previous literature suggests
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that differences in labour force participation rate, education level,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skill achievement, age, and type of industry are the key variables for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
explaining gender income differences in employment. These variables are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
investigated using a linear regression to determine impact on the gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage gap. Results suggest that the gender wage gap increases due to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differing productivity levels and increases in relation to changes in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment participation of females aged 25-44years. Two interesting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
results were identified from the data of this study. Specifically, an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increase of women in the goods producing industry reduced the gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage gap for that population; while, an increase of women in the service
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
industry resulted in an increase of the gender wage gap. These findings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are significant for understanding how legislation regarding wage, work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
week, and social benefits impact the gender wage gap.'
