COMPARABLE WORTH: CANADA'S EXPERIENCE

Morley Gunderson () and W. Craig Riddell

Contemporary Economic Policy, 1992, vol. 10, issue 3, 85-94

Abstract: This paper discusses the design, implementation and administration of comparable worth legislation in Canada, focusing particular attention on the potential of comparable worth to close the male‐female earnings gap. The authors document the Canadian legislative initiatives, provide illustrative evidence on the impact of comparable worth, and identify the main policy lessons to be learned from the experience of Canada, where the comparable worth concept has evolved furthest.
