| Title |
Wage Differences by Language Group and the Market for Language Skills in Canada
|
| Abstract |
An examination of wage differentials between language groups, based on the 1971 census data. In Quebec, the author found that there were substantial economic rewards to learning French or English for men who spoke neither, and substantial rewards to speaking English for native French speakers. Even after learning English, however, and holding other factors constant, native French-speaking men earned lower wages than monolingual English men. There was no significant wage premium for native English speakers who learned French.
