Multiple Job Holding in Canada and Education: Evidence from the Canadian Labour Force Survey

Abstract

This paper explores the evolution over time in the marginal effects of age and education on moonlighting in Canada using the Labour Force Survey public-use files for the 1987/88, 1998/99, 2005/06, and 2013/14 periods. A discrete choice model is estimated by gender for the full sample and separately for each period. I find that the marginal effects of college and university education are larger in the later sample periods. The results also show significant differences across gender.
