Group size and secular endogamy among the religiously unaffiliated in Canada
Earning Gaps for Chinese Immigrants in Canada and the United States
This study compares the US and Canada on the gap in earnings between Chinese immigrants and native‐born whites. Canada and the US are arguably more alike than most possible country pairings, yet they differ in significant ways in their approaches to immigration and integration. The primary difference between Canada and the US regarding immigration policy is that Canada selects a larger proportion of economic immigrants – that is, those admitted b…
Religious Intermarriage in Canada, 1981 to 2011
Is the social influence of religion weakening as the ranks of the unaffiliated grow and religious attendance falls? Will these changes extend to religion's influence on marriage? This research note contributes to these discussions by examining religious intermarriage as another indicator of religion's social influence. Increased religious intermarriage may indicate a weakening of traditional norms of religious endogamy and a decline in religion's…

Age-at-Arrival's Effects on Asian Immigrants’ Socioeconomic Outcomes in Canada and the U.S
Age-at-arrival is a key predictor of many immigrant outcomes, but discussion continues over how to best measure and study its effects. This research replicates and extends a pioneering study by Myers, Gao, and Emeka [International Migration Review (2009) 43:205–229] on age-at-arrival effects among Mexican immigrants in the U.S. to see if similar results hold for other immigrant groups and in other countries. We examine data from the 2000 U.S. cen…
"Canadian" as National Ethnic Origin
This paper examines the emergence of "Canadian" as a national ethnic origin by conducting: (i) a trend analysis on identifying as "Canadian" using microdata from the 1991, 1996, and 2001 Censuses of Canada; and (ii) descriptive and multivariate analyses to examine characteristics associated with identifying as "Canadian." The trend analysis reveals large and statistically significant increases in identification as "Canadian." Several factors, inc…

Do Asian American Faculty Face a Glass Ceiling in Higher Education
The term glass ceiling refers to artificial barriers to achievement. Previous research on the subject suggests that, as racial minorities, Asian American faculty in higher education would encounter a glass ceiling. In this article, the glass ceiling hypothesis is evaluated on the basis of data from the 1993 National Study of Post-Secondary Faculty (NSOPF-93). The sample consists of full-time instructional faculty and includes 1,019 Asian American…
Intermariage, immigration et statistiques raciales aux États-Unis
L'idée de doter l'Union européenne d'un gouvernement économique se justifie maintenant que les missions de l'Union portent moins sur la coordination législative (fonctionnement du marché unique) que sur la coordination exécutive (définition d'une politique économique). Mais un "besoin de gouvernement" se manifeste aussi dans les autres domaines de l'intégration européenne (social, militaire, sécurité intérieure), sous forme d'une floraison anarch…

Trends in Asian American Racial/Ethnic Intermarriage
In this paper, we use data from the 1990 census to compare patterns of Asian American intermarriage with those reported by Lee and Yamanaka (1990). Lee and Yamanaka (1990) used data from the 1980 census to examine patterns of Asian American racial and ethnic intermarriage. They reported that one- quarter of married Asian Americans were outmarried; of these, 90% were married to non-Asians. Variations by gender and nativity were also observed. Wome…
Issues in Research on Women, International Migration and Labor
The scale and complexity of international migration has made immigration a concern for many nations. Previous research on migration had generally failed to include studies of women as migrants and workers. With the increased participation of women in various migration systems, there is a growing research literature on women migrants and their work experiences. This paper discusses several themes that are useful in organizing research on women, mi…
Sociology
Chinatown No More
By focusing on the social and cultural life of post-1965 Taiwan immigrants in Queens, New York, this book shifts Chinese American studies from ethnic enclaves to the diverse multiethnic neighborhoods of Flushing and Elmhurst. As Hsiang-shui Chen documents, the political dynamics of these settlements are entirely different from the traditional closed Chinese communities; the immigrants in Queens think of themselves as living in ?worldtown,? not in…
Racial classifications in the US census
This article examines racial classifications on United States population census schedules between 1890 and 1990 to provide insights on the changing meanings of race in US society. The analysis uses a sociology of knowledge perspective which assumes that race is an ideological concept that can be interpreted most productively by relating its definition and measurement to the larger social and political context. Four themes are identified and discu…

Ethnic differentials in intermarriage patterns within the Asian American population was also addressed by comparing six groups - - Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese. The main findings include a relatively high level of intermarriage among Asian Americans (2…

Female Immigrants and Labor in Colonial Malaya
The role of Chinese and Indian women as immigrants and workers in colonial Malaya is examined using data from censuses, immigration records, official reports and secondary sources. The article discusses the main types of work of female immigrants and their contribution to the economic development of colonial Malaya during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in an attempt to redress the neglect of female immigrants' economic role in …
Asian immigration and American race-relations
This article discusses some contributory factors to the dilemma that confronts Americans of Asian ancestries. This dilemma includes the neglect of this population in public forums on American minorities and the many barriers that prevent Asian Americans from participating fully in the social, economic, and political systems of the United States. A theoretical model that incorporates economic competition, cultural racism, and American nativism is …
