Data from a recent national Canadian survey are used to address the question of income differences between working males and females. The proportion of the inequality attributable to interruptions in the female work career is estimated, along with the importance of factors such as education, occupational SES, and hours worked per year. Actual (before adjustments) income inequality between males and females is found to be less in Canada than in comparable American data. This difference is found to be understandable in terms of the factors included in the model of income attainment rather than the level of residual discrimination against female workers in the two societies. The income difference by gender among nativity and language minorities in Canada is examined, and it is shown that the inequality between the sexes is smaller among French-speaking Canadians than among others.
