Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the gender-based wage gap in Canada as it relates to the educational levels of the economy's constituents. The writer notes that Canada's wage gap has not disappeared. Furthermore, the writer points out that it appears that the gap actually worsens the higher the educational level of women, based on a percentage of income compared to males of the same educational level. The writer concludes that now that the flush of global markets and quick economic expansion is maturing along with the global economy, many markets, including Canada, are left to explain why increased access to education, specifically, but other economic and social factors as well, has not fully closed the gender-based wage gap and why, in some cases, it appears to be widening again.

From the Paper
"There exists much research that details how various economic and social factors affect gender earnings figures or the gender wage gap of workers in Canada. The importance of such research cannot be understated because it has significant relevance to almost every working adult in Canada but, in the long-term, it can also significantly impact the character of Canada's overall economic development. The long-term impact of such factors on Canada's economy are related to the competitiveness of its labour force within the context of the global economy as well as overall productivity factors manifested through measurements of gross domestic product (GDP). While there are may factors that can manifest such an impact on the Canadian economy, in terms of gender based wage gaps, one that is particularly troublesome is the effect that educational attainment has on the gender wage gap and, by extension, its ultimate impact on the Canadian economy."

Abstract
This paper explores gender equality in Canada. Discussed is how far the gap has narrowed between men and women in Canadian society, as well as current day examples. There is still much work to be done in this field to reach total equality.

Abstract
This paper analyzes what appears to be ensuring the continuation of the gender wage gap in Canada. It specifically analyzes the theories of Karl Marx and Max Weber in order to determine the differences between the genders and thus the reasons for the gender wage gap. The paper concludes that neither Marx nor Weber provide acceptable explanations for today's culture.

From the Paper
"Weber's theories also do not offer a blueprint for us to follow today. Weber saw the differences between men and women as natural, and would not have any problem with the gender wage gap. In fact, he would no doubt see it as normal and natural. Indeed, it follows from Weber's theories that - as sex differences are natural - so too are differences in type of work, and pay. Thus, the implication of accepting Weber's theories would be to simply accept the gender wage gap as reflecting the natural differences between men and women. It is argued that this is not at all acceptable today. Moreover, Weber would not have foreseen that men would play increasingly large roles in the lives of their children. If he were around today, he would find the idea of single fathers unbelievable, and also he would find the idea of working mothers (working in the paid work force) unbelievable."

Abstract
This paper examines gender wage discrimination. The paper discusses the pay differences between men and women in Canada today and the struggle of women to attempt to minimize these wage differences. It then analyzes material attempts to explain and measure the extent of the gender wage gap.

From the Paper
" The Gender Wage Gap in Canada: An Analysis of Implications It is an unfortunate reality that Canadian working women today are being paid an average of seventeen-percent less than Canadian men for equivalent jobs. In response to this gender wage discrimination, there have been several attempts to explain and measure the extent of the gender wage gap. In definitive terms, the male-female average wage differential can be expressed as the difference in average endowments evaluated at the male of female pay structure and the difference in returns evaluated at the male or female average endowment."

Abstract
The paper discusses how labor economics explores a host issues related to the wage determination and other notions of labor market efficiency, including theories that help to understand the female-wage differential. This paper explores the female wage differential in Canada by focusing on the empirical research and methodological structures used to explain what accounts for the wage differential.

From the Paper
"Labor economics explores a host issues related to the wage determination and other notions of labor market efficiency. Embedded in this study are theories that help to understand the female-wage differential, that is, can economic theory be used to explain the wage gap that exists for females and males and can this empirical research be applied to the Canadian labor market. This paper will explore the female-wage differential in Canada by focusing on the empirical research and methodological structures used to explain what accounts for the wage differential. More importantly the paper will..."

Abstract
The paper reveals that even though Canada has the Canadian Bill of Rights and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, women still continue to earn less money than men. The paper explores what is ensuring the continuation of the gender wage gap.

From the Paper
"Canada has the Canadian Bill of Rights and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to ensure that there is no discrimination within our society. So we can expect that women and men are treated the same, and are paid the same for their work, right? Wrong! If we look at the facts, we will see that women still continue to earn less money than men. How can we explain this? After all, we are an advanced society with a Bill of Rights. There are even laws to stop discrimination against women. And most people would agree that women should not be paid less than men. So what has gone wrong? It seems likely that there is something systemic that is ensuring the..."

Abstract
The paper presents research that shows how there is a definite gender, education and income disparity in Canada that is deteriorating. The paper points out that these inequalities are more persistent in rural Canada and among non-white women and immigrants.

From the Paper
"Even though the educational disparity between women and men has almost disappeared, there is still an income gap between the two, with women earning up to 50 to 84 percent as much as men. The research for this paper confirms this finding. When the research looks at non-white women, women who are immigrants, and women who reside in more rural areas, particularly Alberta, the education/income distances grow wider."

Abstract
Economic inequities with respect to gender are still prevalent in Canada, and have grown in recent years, according to recent reports from the Canadian Labour Congress. Evidence suggests that although public policies could help close the economic opportunity gap between working women and men, current Canadian policies have had little effect, even in the public sector where their application is more stringent. Canadian policies often fail to take into account current feminist and gender-aligned research, which contributes directly to their failure.

Abstract
This paper addresses gender discrimination in the Canadian labour force. The paper makes the argument that there is a wage gap between men and women in Canada. The paper discusses theories as to why this wage gap may exist and if this is likely to change in the future.

From the Paper
"Gender Discrimination in the Canadian Labour Force Gender discrimination continues to be a problem in the Canadian workforce. Women in particular are still experiencing a wage gap in the labour force. According to Lois Moorcroft in Newfoundland Women Want Pay Equity Too, "...Full-time working women still earn only 72.5 per cent of men's salaries" (Moorcroft 2005: 6). A great deal of time and effort is being spent in order to try and rectify this situation. For example, In the 1950s, the federal government and seven of the ten provinces enacted legislation enabling `equal pay for equal work (England and Gad 2002: 283)."
