Notes: The samples consist of 1,708 men and 1,341 women in the private sector and 408 men and 824 women in the public sector born in a Canadian province between 1955 and 1957 who hold either a high school diploma or a bachelor's degree (in a field other than law) and who are present in the Longitudinal Worker File (LWF) at least 18 of the 20 years from 1991 to 2010. Individuals are considered in the private (public) sector if they are employed in the private (public) sector for at least 15 years over the period and then in the public (private) sector for no more than 5 years over the period. Total earnings include wages and salaries, and net self-employment income. The analysis covers the period from 1991 to 2010. All models include controls for membership in a visible-minority group, Aboriginal people, first official language learned and still understood, long-term disability, province of birth, and birth cohort. In all cases, the omitted educational attainment category is high school completion. |
