Abstract

This paper studies the earnings of married women by language group in Quebec in 1980. In order to account for the particular aspects of the female labour market, the specification of the model includes variables related to marriage, children and selection bias due to labour force participation. Among the results of the analysis, it is found that language attributes do not have an important impact on earnings and that allophone women are different from the others with respect to some of the factors that determine earnings. Cette étude analyse les revenus des femmes mariées par groupe linguistique au Québec en 1980. De façon à tenir compte des particularités du marché du travail des femmes, le modèle inclut des variables concernant le mariage, la présence d’enfants et le biais de sélection dû à la participation au marché du travail. Parmi les résultats de l’analyse, il ressort que les attributs linguistiques ont peu d’effet sur le revenu et que les femmes allophones se distinguent des autres quant à l’effet de certains facteurs de détermination du revenu.
