Another Look at the Francophone Wage Gap in Canada: Public and Private Sectors, Quebec and Outside Quebec
|
| Abstract |
The author found that outside Quebec, in both the public and private sectors, the wage premium enjoyed by Anglophone Canadians between 1970 and 2000 can be fully explained by a higher relative demand for English skills. However, in the Quebec public sector between 1970 and 2000, francophones enjoyed a wage premium that may have reflected more than a higher relative demand for French skills, opening the possibility of discrimination as a factor. Such a premium also seems to have been present in Quebec's private sector in 2000. The author concludes that in 2000, Anglophones in Quebec's private sector could not gain access to the market premium of the other language group by becoming bilingual.
