Title
Language Legislation and Male-Female Earning Differentials in Quebec
Abstract
The female portion of Quebec's workforce rose from 35.4 percent in 1970 to 42 percent in 1977. The authors examine the impact of Bill 101, the Charter of the French Language, on female workers and conclude that the law was less beneficial for Francophone female workers compared to Francophone male workers. The authors also compare Anglophone female workers with Francophone female workers. They show that there was a considerable degree of occupational segregation by sex, with women of both linguistic groups being over-represented in low wage occupations.
