Document Summary
Hrm 3490: gender equality and pay and chapter 12. Gap in public sector is much small then in private sector. In canada there is a wage can of up to 10-15% no matter how you calculate wage gap. Whether comparing a female lawyer to male lawyer or a a male and female who do equal work. Public sector is less because they are more regulated by government compared to public sector. Also in public sector there is more wage compression, where the dif between the lowest paid and highest paid is smaller in public sector than in private sector. We calculate wage gap through surveys of 50, 00 people in each occupation throughout the country. For the lowest paid occupation in canada woman dominate 16 of them. Out of the top 20 paid occupations in canada men dominate 14 of them. Today women are more than 50% of graduates from historically high paid fields: medical, law, business.
