The weekly earnings of Canadian-born individuals in designated visible minority and White categories in the mid-2010s / by Theresa Qiu and Grant Schellenberg. : CS36-28-0001/2022-1-4E-PDF
"Using data from the 2016 Census, this study compares the weekly earnings of individuals in designated visible minority and White categories, as defined in the Employment Equity Act. This study focuses on Canadian-born individuals aged 25 to 44 who had paid employment in 2015. Net of sociodemographic and job characteristics, the weekly earnings of men in 4 of the 10 designated visible minority categories were significantly lower than those of White people, with the largest differences observed among Black and Latin American people. The weekly earnings of men in five other designated visible minority categories were not significantly different from those of White people, while the weekly earnings of men in one category (South Asian) were slightly higher. Among women, weekly earnings were significantly higher among Chinese, Southeast Asian, Filipino and South Asian people than those who were White, with the largest difference observed among the Chinese. The weekly earnings of women in the six other designated visible minority categories were not significantly different from those of White people. Educational attainment, full- and part-time status and occupation accounted for substantial shares of the explained portion of these earning gaps. Among men and women in most designated visible minority categories, differences in weekly earnings relative to White people were about the same in 2015 as they were in 2005. However, the difference in weekly earnings between Black and White men widened by 4% after sociodemographic and job characteristics were taken into account"--Abstract, page 1.
