Female Wage and Labor Differentials in Canada: History, Difference in Labor Markets, The Wage Gap, General Discrimination and Trends
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 12 page paper discussing wage and labor differentials for women in Canada. Within Canada today, women in the labor force generally make 70 to 80 cents for every dollar men make. This “wage gap” has actually decreased greatly over the years but still has a long way to go for total equity in the work place despite positive legislation in the 1970s and 1980s. Historically, women within Canada have been “crowded” into certain female-dominated professions such as clerical positions, nursing, teaching, domestic work, social work and sales and services. While clerical work once was comparable with male blue-collar jobs in regards to pay, the increase in unionization in many blue-collar trades left most of the female-dominated positions as those which were lower paid. As women shifted away from clerical positions and proceeded to attain degrees in higher education, the wage gap began to decrease but then women encountered the “glass ceiling” in which women held a disproportionate number of positions in the lowest quartile in large corporations. Today, women still have lower average salaries than men despite the gain in higher education. One of the reasons found within studies by Statistics Canada and others is that women who choose to have and raise children lose experience during their absence; experience men continue to gain which in turn leads to more promotions. Another reason believed for the continue wage gap is discrimination which still exists within employers, co-workers and the general population somewhat who still categorize some professions as “female” (such as teaching) and some as “male” (such as the trades) and in essence this restricts female workers from opportunities within the blue collar and higher executive markets.

Free Market And Individual Liberty
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The relationship between free markets and individual liberty is an otherwise complementary union that is suffering a tremendous setback amidst the current state of the economy. It has long been the case how America's capitalist economic system is a "fit" with the nation's principles and form of government; only recently have these constitutional tenets undergone extreme tests of their collective strength where the United States economy is concerned. The extent to which free market capitalism works synergistically with individual liberty is both grand and far-reaching; having approved more than $700 billion to bail out a broken, untrustworthy financial sector sent a strong message to the American people that saving poorly-run industries demands more attention than upholding their individual liberties.

Gas Price Elasticity
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing gas price elasticity in light of the record-breaking prices of the summer of 2000. A product of high elasticity is one that exhibits significant response to the laws of supply and demand. Unfortunately, gasoline is not one of those products. Consumers may change travel plans when prices exceed $1.50 a gallon, but gas is seen as a necessity for everything but vacation. Although alternatives are slowly becoming available, few exist in 2000. In addition, gas purchases account for only a small fraction of available income. If any or all of these conditions were different, then gas would be a more elastic product. For the present, it remains a product of low price elasticity of demand. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
