Sur la période étudiée, les hommes étaient payés en moyenne respectivement, 2,06%, 2,14%, et  \n5,26% de plus que leurs collègues femmespour tousles employés, le personnel enseignant des universités, et les doyens. Nous procédons également à unedécomposition de Blinder-Oaxaca afin de mesurer la source des écarts desalaire différenciés selon le genre. Les écarts de rémunération persistent pendant cette période, malgré les principales explications fournies par la littérature, notamment “l’effet de pipeline.” Nos résultats montrent en outre que les années d’expérience des femmes dans les universités n’atténuent pas les écarts de rémunération observés. Augmenter la portée de notre étude afinde prendre en compte des dimensions plus fines tels que la productivité au travail, est une des pistes futures de recherche qu’ouvrent cette analyse.  \nIntroduction  \nDo gender pay gaps exist in Canadian society, and, if so, then how are they changing over time? Men, young people, and wealthier individuals tend to believe that enough policy attention has already been paid to gender equity, and 42% of women and 60% of men similarly assert that the government is currently doing enough to promote equal opportunities for women (Ipsos Public Affairs, 2017) . Policy attention to pay inequity has not diminished. Indeed, the 2018 Federal Budget released by the Trudeau government in February 2018 focused specifically on issues of gender equality, including the aim of improving the economic inclusion of women and advancing the status of women across all facets of Canadian society (Government of Canada, 2018) .  \nIt has been over three decades since the Employment Equity Act was passed in 1987, yet addressing the persistent gender pay gap remains as relevant as ever. This evaluation is particularly timely in the Province of Ontario—the home of many of Canada’s largest research universities, and the focus of additional, in-depth analysis—which marked the 30th anniversary of its provincial Pay Equity Actin 2017. In the decades since the Act was passed, the gender pay gap has narrowed from 36% to 26%—though there is still much work to be done in closing the gap altogether (Pay Equity Commission, 2018) .  \nOur paper analyzes the existence and characteristics of gender pay gaps in one of our most pr","cbCair8x2TlWQk48","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair8x2TlWQk48","pdf",1021149,21,"English","# Introduction\n## Employment and policy context\n## Academic setting and research approach\n# Results (reported summary)\n## Pay gaps across faculty ranks\n## Persistence after controlling for pipeline effects\n## Decomposition of salary differentials","[{\"question\":\"What data and time period does the article use to measure gender pay gaps?\",\"answer\":\"It measures gender pay gaps in Ontario’s public post-secondary education sector from 1996 to 2016 using the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Data.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the study find about pay gaps across faculty ranks?\",\"answer\":\"Gaps widen among all faculty ranks, and men earn more on average than their women colleagues for all employees, university teaching staff, and deans.\"},{\"question\":\"Does controlling for the pipeline effect eliminate the observed pay gaps?\",\"answer\":\"No. Pay gaps persist during the period even after controlling for common explanations, including the “pipeline effect,” and women’s years of experience do not mitigate the gaps.\"}]","More Than a Pipeline Problem: Evaluating the Gender Pay Gap in Canadian Academia from 1996 to 2016 | PDF",1792083737,53]
