In this sequel to our previous paper, we again look at gender comparisons for the Canadian economy, which we again compare
and contrast with the analogous comparisons for the United States economy. Once again, we attempt to ascertain, how different
are the various gender comparisons in the two countries. Once again, our principal data sources are Statistics Canada, particularly
the two excellent volumes on Women in Canada, for the Canadian figures and Joyce Jacobsen’s fine compilations in her text (1998) for the U.S. figures. In this part of
the study, we look principally at income-related matters, such as the gender wage gap and various decompositions of this phenomenon,
such as earnings by age of earner and the incidence of low incomes. The second major section of this paper explores questions
of time usage and, in particular, how the two genders search for employment when unemployed. Our final section states some
tentative conclusions, including our speculative thoughts on why most gender comparisons are so similar on the two sides of
the Canadian-American border.
