Pay Equity: Experiences of Canada and the Province of Ontario (Briefing
Report, 11/02/93, GAO/GGD-94-27BR).

This briefing report is part of a broader GAO examination of whether pay
discrimination linked to gender or race is a problem in federal
government wage-setting practices in the United States.  It discusses
the legal requirements and presents the status of the implementation of
pay equity in the federal sector of Canada and in the province of
Ontario, where pay equity laws also apply to the private sector.  GAO
notes that Canadian pay equity initiatives involve different legal,
demographic, and economic settings and therefore may not be comparable
to circumstances in the United States.  GAO continues to analyze whether
the U.S. government's factor evaluation system may produce pay
disparities because of gender or race.
