Male/Female Income Distributions, City Size and Urban Characteristics: Canada, 1970-1980

Division of Social Sciences, Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada

While the effects of city size on urban income distributions have been studied, there has been no analysis of the separate effects on male and female income distributions. We assume that urban male and female labour markets are largely segmented. This is supported by the evidence for Canadian cities in 1970 and 1980. Cities with greater male income equality do not necessarily exhibit greater female equality. Further, the variables which contribute to equality for males are different from those for females. An examination of changes in gini coefficients from 1970 to 1980 suggests that the variables which influence inter-urban differences in income equality have little effect on dynamic changes.
