Abstract

We analyze labour market outcomes of high school drop-outs in Québec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia and compare them to those obtained by High School graduates. Our econometric model is capable of explaining why drop-out rates are higher among Québec males and stresses the role played by disincentives induced by the Québec welfare system. Dans ce rapport, nous analysons les résultats obtenus sur le marché du travail des décrocheurs du secondaire au Québec, en Ontario, en Alberta et en Colombie Britannique et les comparons à ceux qui ont obtenu un diplôme du secondaire. Notre modèle économétrique contribue à expliquer pourquoi la proportion de jeunes hommes sans diplôme secondaire est substantiellement plus élevée au Québec qu'ailleurs au Canada et clarifie l'importance de l'effet désincitatif de l'aide sociale au Québec.
