abstract: 'Level of postsecondary schooling and field of study remain significant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
markers of social stratification. However, the extent to which these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
various types of postsecondary schooling influence the labor market
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes of recent male and female graduates is unknown. Drawing on data
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from Statistics Canada''s 2013 National Graduates Survey, we examine the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment status and gender gap in earnings among recent Canadian male
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and female graduates at different levels of postsecondary education and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
various fields of study, three years after graduation. The findings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
indicate substantial gender disparities in employment status across all
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
types of postsecondary education. The gender gap in earnings is highest
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
among trades and community college graduates, but effectively disappears
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for graduates with earned doctorate degrees. With respect to field of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
study, the gender wage gap is smallest among liberal arts graduates and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
largest among graduates with math-, computer science-, or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
engineering-related credentials. The policy implications associated with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these findings should be of interest to international researchers as pay
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
equity among men and women in the workforce remains a priority for all
