Résumé

The Canadian Summer Job (CSJ) program is one major assistance initiative to help students jump-start their careers. One important objective of the CSJ program is to help these young people, among the most vulnerable groups, find employment opportunities. One intended outcome is to narrow the opportunity gap across the country. However, in this paper, despite all the good intentions, the CSJ program is not found to be equitable in all dimensions. Using the publicly available data in 2017, our regression results show this program is horizontally inequitable, but vertically equitable overall. NDP ridings, however, are favoured and may be vertically inequitable among 20-24-year-olds.
