Estimated relationship between total cumulative earnings and high school certification — Quantile regression results
Table summary

The row headers describe the quantile of total earnings considered. The column headers describe the sex of individuals, as well as the coefficient for the high school attainment variable and its standard error for men and for women.

Note(s):
The samples consist of 2,068 men and 2,093 women born in a Canadian province between 1964 and 1966 with no postsecondary studies and present in the Longitudinal Worker File (LWF) at least 18 of the 20 years from 1991 to 2010. Total earnings include wages and salaries and net self-employment income. Dollar figures are expressed in 2010 constant dollars. The analysis covers the period from 1991 to 2010. All models include controls for the number of completed years of elementary and secondary schooling, membership in a visible-minority group, Aboriginal people, first official language learned and still understood, long-term disability, province/territory of birth, and birth cohort.
