Langues utilisées à la maison et au travail à Montréal par les immigrants entre 2001 et 2016
Ce texte analyse l'évolution des langues utilisées à la maison et au travail dans la région métropolitaine de Montréal de 2001 à 2016. L'accent est mis sur les immigrants étant donné leur importance dans la croissance future de la population. On définit deux indices prenant des valeurs entre 0 et 100 : un indice d'intensité d'utilisation d'une langue officielle canadienne (le français ou l'anglais) à la maison et au travail; et un indice d'intens…
Immigrant linguistic integration in the multilingual context of Montreal
We investigate the relative intensity of use of English and French at home for allophone immigrants in the Montreal metropolitan area. We find that the linguistic distances between immigrants’ mother tongues and English and French have an important impact on the relative intensities of use at home of the two Canadian official languages. However, immigrants whose mother tongues are closer to French than to English are relatively less likely to use…
Quebec’s language policy and economic globalization
This article examines the economic situation of language groups in Quebec since the 1970s. Particular attention is paid to the contexts of economic globalization, where English has become the most used world lingua franca, and of immigration now being the major source of population growth. Viewing language as a market where supply and demand determine outcomes, the purpose of Bill 101 was to increase the value and the use of French. The relative …
Are Quebecers More Stressed Out at Work than Others? An Investigation into the Differences between Quebec and the Rest of Canada in Level of Work Stress
Work stress is costly and decreases productivity. Quebecers are much more likely to report high work stress than other Canadians. Using data from the Canadian Community Health Survey spanning 2003–2012, we study the determinants of reported work stress. Chronic disease, mental health, and lifestyle choices all contribute to work stress. Despite including a large variety of influences, living in Quebec is persistently associated with higher work s…
Immigration in Quebec
This article provides an overview of some key issues related to immigration in Quebec. Quebec stands out from the rest of Canada in terms of the origin of its immigrants, who come mainly from francophone countries. Quebec immigrants are relatively better educated than those elsewhere in Canada, but have higher unemployment rates. Our overview of the research examining the impact of immigration on the economy found that immigration has a relativel…
Revisiting the relationship between wages and sleep duration
Human capital quality and the immigrant wage gap
We propose a new methodology for analyzing determinants of the wage gap between immigrants and natives. A Mincerian regression framework is extended to include GDP per capita in an immigrant's country of birth as a proxy for the quality of schooling and work experience acquired in that country. We find that Canadian immigrants' returns to schooling and work experience significantly increase with the GDP per capita of their country of birth. The c…
How can language be linked to economics
As the use of languages is playing a more and more important role in economic activities with the globalization of the world economy, there is growing interest in the relationship between language and economic theory. The rapidly expanding literature in this field, however, is highly fragmented. It is difficult to tell what this field of study focuses on, what has actually been investigated, and what remains to be studied. The authors attempt to …
Canadian Immigrants’ Access to a First Job in Their Intended Occupation
Jobless Durations of Displaced Workers
David Gray, Gilles Grenier, Jobless Durations of Displaced Workers: A Comparison of Canada and the United States, Canadian Public Policy / Analyse de Politiques, Vol. 24, Supplement 1: CERF/CSLR Conference on the Canada-US Unemployment Rate Gap / FCSE/CENV Conférence sur l'écart entre les taux de chômage au Canada et aux États-Unis (Feb., 1998), pp. S152-S169
Linguistic and Economic Characteristics of Francophone Minorities in Canada
This paper analyses and compares the Canadian francophone minorities of Ontario and New Brunswick in order to see how wellthey have done in preserving their identity and in achieving economic success. The analysis is performed with micro data from the 1981 and 1991 Canadian censuses. Demographic trends and language use attributes are firstpresented, followed by a discussion of some characteristics thatare related to social and economic status. Th…
Language, employment, and earnings in fhe United States
Article Language, employment, and earnings in fhe United States: Spanish-English differentials from 1970 to 1990 was published on January 1, 1996 in the journal International Journal of the Sociology of Language (volume 1996, issue 121)
The Changing Labour Market Position of Canadian Immigrants
"This paper uses pooled 1971, 1981, and 1986 Canadian census data to evaluate the extent to which (1) the earnings of Canadian immigrants at the time of immigration fall short of the earnings of comparable Canadian-born individuals, and (2) immigrants' earnings grow more rapidly over time than those of the Canadian born. Variations in the labour market assimilation of immigrants according to their gender and country of origin are also analysed. T…
Discrimination versus English Proficiency in the National Hockey League
Economists do not usually make the headlines in the sports news, as our recent article on discrimination in the NHL did. This intrusion, however, did not seem very productive, judging by the comments of sportswriters. It is thus with some relief that we read Michael Krashinsky's comment on our article. The theory he proposes has some interest. We actually called it 'the language thesis' in our original submission (Lavoie et al., 1986:9-11), the d…
