在这项研究中，我们研究的决定因素，识字和算术之间土生土长的加拿大人。识字和算术作为劳动力市场结果的决定因素的作用进行了评估，两者都有助于解释劳动力市场的地位，周工作，和收入。注意到男性和女性的估计数存在显著差异。对恢复受教育年限的估计显示出对排除识字和计算能力的措施的敏感性。此外，将这些变量包括在内，减少了男性受教育年限的估计回报，增加了女性受教育年限的估计回报。
In this study we examine the determinants of literacy and numeracy among native-born Canadians. The role of literacy and numeracy as determinants of labour market outcomes is assessed, and both are found to contribute to the explanation of labour market status, weeks worked, and income. Significant differences in the male and female estimates are noted. Estimates of the return to years of schooling are shown to be sensitive to the exclusion of measures of literacy and numeracy. Further, the inclusion of these variables decreases the estimated return to years of schooling for males and increases the estimated return for females.
