Book Description
This study provides a descriptive analysis of a sample of bachelor-level university graduates derived from a representative database of 1982 graduates of Canadian universities, colleges, and trade schools that was based on interviews in 1984 and 1987. The analysis cross-tabulates data on such topics as activity rates, distribution of graduates across a field of study, job satisfaction, distribution of graduates by industry and occupation, overall earnings levels by sex and field of study, and the job-education match and earnings. Emphasis throughout the analysis is on two sets of comparison: science versus non-science graduates, and men versus women within each field of study. The study also includes results of a regression analysis of the earnings of science and non-science graduates, with an emphasis on the gender earnings gap.
