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.'
