What Is Happening to Earnings Inequality in Canada in the 1990s?
نویسنده
چکیده
It is now commonly accepted that earnings inequality – that is, the gap in earnings between lowand high-wage workers, became more pronounced in Canada throughout the 1980s.1 This is in contrast to inequality trends in family income,2 which have changed little (Beach and Slotsve, 1996). This article updates and adds to the earnings inequality story by addressing two issues: 1) the evolution of the earnings gap during the 1990s; and 2) the impact of changing patterns of job-holding on the earnings gap.
