Abstract

This paper examines salaries at the University of Manitoba to determine whether a 1994 remedy, paid in response to a 1993 salary study that demonstrated a gap between the salaries of males and females, has eliminated these differences. We use 1993 and 2003 data to approximate the earlier analysis, and apply a Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition to examine the evolution in the wage gap between time periods. Our results indicate that the gap remains largely unchanged in magnitude, but its determinants have shifted somewhat. Women's overrepresentation at lower-paying ranks and underrepresentation at the highest-paying ranks, as well as differences in highest degree and experience explain much of the wage gap.
