"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4261306\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'm not sure if I exactly understand your question, but certainly our research has demonstrated that the wage gap tends to be greater in non-unionized places of employment, that it tends to be greater for part-time employees, and that it tends to be greater at the lower levels of jobs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4261307\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think part of that has to do with\u2014and we sensed it, although we really weren't in a position to do very much investigation\u2014the fact that there are a lot of situations where you have double discrimination, if you like. Where you have racial factors or disabilities or aboriginal workers, that seems to compound the wage gap although, as I said, we weren't really able to investigate that.</p>",

Lorsqu'il y a des facteurs raciaux, des personnes handicap\u00e9es ou des travailleurs autochtones, cela semble aggraver l'\u00e9cart salarial, m\u00eame si, comme je l'ai mentionn\u00e9, nous n'avons pas vraiment \u00e9t\u00e9 en mesure de creuser la question.</p>"
