abstract: 'The Labour Force Survey Microdata of Statistics Canada have been used as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
part of an approach centered on professions, which itself rests upon an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment regime approach. The authors have constructed a typology of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
occupations into eight classes. Based on the relative share of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
occupational classes in wage employment, it appears that professionals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and technicians, both in the natural sciences and the new technologies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of information and communication and in the social and health sciences
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have recorded the largest growth; low-skilled workers in interpersonal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
services have also grown, while blue-collar and white-collar workers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have declined and senior managers and the finance professionals are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mired in stagnation. The latter, however, have proved to be the real
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
winners of income distribution during the period. In terms of job
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
quality, as measured by the relative growth of occupations grouped into
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income quintiles, an asymmetric polarization can be observed: the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
highest quintiles, bringing together the good jobs, have experienced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
higher growth than the lowest quintile, associated with bad jobs, while
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
intermediate quintiles declined. We can also observe growth in wage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality in the sense that wages in the highest quintile increased
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more quickly than in other income quintiles. Finally, Quebec and Canada
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
belong to the neoliberal regime. Quebec is certainly a more egalitarian
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
society but, unlike the country''s social democratic model, this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``distinct{''''} character is not the result of more progressive social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy and a more inclusive trade unionism, which would have raised the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lowest quintile wages; it rather reflects the employment stagnation, or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
even decline, in the highest quintile and wage stagnation, or even
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
decline, in the fourth quintile.'
