چکیده

En utilisant les bases principales du recensement de 1971 à 1996, nous évaluons les équations salariales des travailleurs et des travailleuses nés au Canada de manière à mesurer les différences salariales entre les blancs et les autochtones et les blancs et la minorité visible au Canada. Ces données nous permettent de nous concentrer sur les petites populations que forment la minorité visible née au Canada et les travailleurs autochtones au Canada et sur les territoires de huit grandes métropoles canadiennes. Nous définissons aussi des quasi-cohortes pour évaluer les différences salariales selon l’âge et examiner les différences dans 26 sous-groupes au sein des catégories constituées par les blancs et la minorité visible. Il apparaît que les différences se sont réduites au cours des années 1970, se sont stabilisées durant les années 1980 et se sont accrues entre 1991 et 1996.

This is somewhat surprising given that the size of this population h...
