The gender composition and wages: why is Canada different from the United States? / by Michael Baker and Nicole Fortin.CS11-0019/140E

In this paper we provide a comprehensive picture, circa the late 1980's, of the occupational gender segregation in Canada and its consequences for wages. We examine not only the conventional correlations between the femaleness of occupations and wage rates, but also alternative representations of the relative positions of female jobs, such as kernel density estimates. We also draw explicit comparisons of our findings to evidence from the United States.--Introduction
