Abstract

À partir des données de l'Enquête sur les capacités de lecture et d'écriture utilisées quotidiennement (ECLÉUQ) de Statistique Canada, nous avons étudié les différences de revenus entre les minorités et les Blancs et l'importance des capacités cognitives dans les modèles de revenus observés. Certains groupes de minorités ont des capacités de lecture et de calcul considérablement inférieures (d'après les tests) à celles des Blancs et d'autres groupes de minorités ayant mieux réussi sur le plan économique. Par ailleurs, chez certains groupes d'hommes, ces différences expliquent en grande partie les modèles de revenus observés. Les écarts salariaux entre les groupes ethniques et les Blancs sont, toutefois, beaucoup moins importants chez les femmes; et les variables des capacités de lecture et de calcul n'expliquent pas vraiment ces écarts. Il est question, dans ce document, des diverses incidences sur les politiques générales.
