abstract: 'Considerable concern has recently been expressed worldwide about growing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income inequality. Much of the discussion, though, has been in general
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
terms and focused on the US experience. To understand whether and how
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Canada ought to respond to this development, we need to be clear on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
facts. This paper documents Canadian patterns in income inequality and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
investigates the top I percent of earners the group receiving the most
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attention. We summarize what is known about the causes of growing income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality, including the role of gender wage differences. Finally, we
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outline policy options for reducing or slowing the growth of-inequality.'
