Overview
Dans cette étude, nous avons analysé les données de Statistique Canada sur les taux d'inscription et de diplomation dans les universités, de 1979 à 2004. Nous avons utilisé des indices d'association par discipline pour mesurer la sous-représentation ou la sur-représentation des femmes dans certaines disciplines par rapport à la répartition des sexes observée dans l'ensemble des disciplines. Nos résultats révèlent certaines constantes de convergence et de divergence, mais montrent surtout une permanence dans les chiffres reliés à l'intégration des sexes. Un indice global d'association relatif aux inscriptions indique que, en 25 ans, la ségrégation des sexes n'a diminué que de 5 % ; dans le cas de la diplomation, le chiffre est de 13 %. L'accroissement spectaculaire du nombre d'inscriptions chez les femmes, de même que celui du nombre de diplômes qu'elles obtiennent, ne s'est donc pas traduit par une intégration des sexes correspondante dans la plupart des disciplines. Cela suggère que les inégalités entre les sexes dans le domaine des études supérieures continuent de perpétuer des inégalités sur le marché du travail. /// We examine 25 years of Statistics Canada data on university undergraduate enrolment and gradation rates from 1979 to 2004 by employing field-specific indices of association that measure the under- or overrepresentation of women in a particular field relative to the gender composition in all fields. Our findings reveal patterns of convergence and divergence but, most consistently, of steadiness with respect to gender integration. An overall index of association for undergraduate enrolment indicates that over 25 years gender segregation has decreased by only 5 percent. The comparable figure for degree completion is 13 percent. Spectacular increases in enrolment and completion by women have not been translated into gender integration within most fields of study, suggesting that different structures of opportunities within higher education continue to perpetuate gender inequities in the labour market.
