Slide 2 - Introduction

Education is crucial for success in the Canadian labour market, with over 60% postsecondary attainment as per the 2021 Census. University graduates earn 30-50% more than high school graduates, setting the stage for empirical wage analysis.

Introduction

Education key to Canadian labour market outcomes
60%+ postsecondary attainment (2021 Census)
University grads earn 30-50% more than high school grads
Sets stage for empirical wage analysis

Source: 2021 Census

Speaker Notes

Education drives Canadian labour market success. Highlight postsecondary attainment and wage premiums to set up empirical analysis.

Slide 3 - Research Question & Objectives

The slide presents the main research question: How does education level impact individual wages in Canada? Its objectives include estimating education returns via regression analysis, controlling for age, gender, and regional factors, and assessing policy implications from 2021 Census data.

Research Question & Objectives

Main RQ: How does education level impact individual wages in Canada?
Objective 1: Estimate education returns using regression analysis.
Objective 2: Control for age, gender, and regional factors.
Objective 3: Assess policy implications from 2021 Census data.

Slide 4 - Literature Review

Card (1999) and Oreopoulos (2006) show that education increases wages via skill acquisition, with the latter estimating a 10% return per additional year of schooling in Canada. Statistics Canada (1999) confirms strong positive education-wage links across demographics, ages, and regions, supporting human capital theory.

Literature Review

Card (1999) & Oreopoulos (2006)	StatsCan (1999)
Card (1999) demonstrates education boosts wages through skill acquisition. Oreopoulos (2006) estimates a 10% wage return per additional year of schooling in Canada, highlighting strong causal links.	Statistics Canada (1999) confirms positive education-wage relationships across demographics, ages, and regions, providing robust empirical evidence for human capital theory in the Canadian context.

Speaker Notes

This slide summarizes key studies showing positive returns to education on wages, setting the empirical foundation for our analysis.

Slide 5 - Data & Methods

The slide outlines data sources including 2021 Census PUMF for wages and education microdata, and Labour Force Survey PUMF supplements. It specifies analysis using Stata for regression models on a sample of working Canadians aged 25-64.

Data & Methods

Data: 2021 Census PUMF (wages, education microdata)
Data: Labour Force Survey PUMF (supplements)
Analysis: Stata for regression models
Sample: Working Canadians aged 25-64

Source: 2021 Census PUMF and Labour Force Survey PUMF

Speaker Notes

Highlight microdata strengths for wage-education analysis; Stata enables robust regressions on working Canadians 25-64.

Slide 6 - Regression Model

The slide presents a regression model table outlining key variables, their coefficients (β₁ to β₄), descriptions, and control categories. It includes Education (years of schooling, premium effect control), Age (experience proxy, demographics), Gender (male/female dummy, demographics), Region (regional dummies, location effects), and the error term (ε) for residuals.

Regression Model

Variable	Coefficient	Description	Control
Education	β₁	Years of schooling	Premium effect
Age	β₂	Experience proxy	Demographics
Gender	β₃	Male/Female dummy	Demographics
Region	β₄	Regional dummies	Location effects
ε	Error term	-	Residuals

Source: Mincer-style Wage Equation

Speaker Notes

β₁ captures education premium. Controls for experience (Age), demographics. OLS estimation.

Slide 7 - Policy Relevance

The slide "Policy Relevance" highlights how the policy supports greater investment in education, expands student financial aid access, and addresses rural-urban disparities. It also boosts labor productivity and reduces income inequality across Canada.

Policy Relevance

Supports increased investment in education
Expands access to student financial aid
Addresses regional disparities (rural vs. urban)
Boosts overall labor productivity
Reduces income inequality across Canada

Speaker Notes

Findings support increased education investment, expanded student aid. Regional policies to address disparities (e.g., rural vs urban). Boosts productivity, reduces inequality.
