Black−White Occupational Segregation in Canada: Insights From Socio‐Economic Factors, Gender and Place
This study advances the racial occupational segregation literature by modelling the intersections of race, gender and place. Analysis of confidential 2021 Canadian Census microdata finds that approximately one‐quarter of Black men or women would have to change occupations for distributions to be similar to their White counterparts. We then augment the largely descriptive Black−White occupational segregation research by using counterfactual condit…
A Regime Approach to Refugee Comparisons: Canada’s Responses to Syria, Afghanistan, and Ukraine
The Contemporary Labor Market Integration of Vietnamese Refugees in Canada
Decades after the arrival of the Vietnamese boat people (1979-1981), we reassess their economic integration, along with that of a second wave (1982-1990). We compare current occupational locations and weekly earnings across the two waves and between the Vietnamese and immigrants born in China, Hong Kong, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, and North and West Europe (arriving 1979-1990). Occupational and earnings profiles document that the second…
Revisiting gender occupational segregation trends in Canada: 1991–2016
Despite continued interest in gender (in)equality at work, Canadian research on gender occupational segregation stopped in the early 2000s. We revisit gender occupational segregation trends using newly developed harmonized occupational categories which resolve temporal changes in occupational classifications. Our analysis of the 1991-2016 Canadian Census Masterfiles finds gender occupational segregation, whether measured by the index of dissimila…
Unwanted and Uninvited: Canadian Exceptionalism in Migration and the 2017-2020 Irregular Border Crossings
This paper focuses on the irregular migration flow from the United States to Canada from 2017 to 2020. This irregular migration, defined as unauthorized border crossings, challenges a central tenet of the perceived exceptionalism of Canadian immigration policy by illustrating that while legal migration remains publicly popular and receives political support, the public rejects unwanted, irregular, or illegal migration, demanding strong response f…
Is STEM Education Portable? Country of Education and the Economic Integration of STEM Immigrants
STEM Education and STEM Work: Nativity Inequalities in Occupations and Earnings
The recruitment of skilled workers with expertise in science, technology, engineering and mathematics ( STEM ) is a core component of North American immigration policies. However, few studies examine the labour market integration of immigrant STEM educated workers. Multivariate analysis of the 2011 National Household Survey show that STEM educated immigrants who arrive as adults are less likely than the Canadian born to have STEM jobs and they ea…
Educational and Labor Market Attainments of the 1.5- and Second-Generation Children of East Asian Immigrants in Canada
Using data from the most recent 2011 Canadian National Household Survey, educational, occupational, and earnings attainments of the East Asian 1.5- and second-generation groups are compared with those of the White third-plus generation. Specific attention is paid to those with both parents born in the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and in the Southeast Asian country of Vietnam. While East Asian offspring exhibit high…
Cross-Nativity Partnering and the Political Participation of Immigrant Generations
This article defines cross-nativity intermarriage in four generations of Canadians and explores whether cross-nativity partnering is associated with political assimilation-in this case, similarity in voting and political activities between immigrants with native-born partners and third-plus-generation immigrants. We find that foreign-born residents with Canadian-born partners do not differ from third-plus-generation residents who have Canadian-bo…
Recruiting High Skill Labour in North America: Policies, Outcomes and Futures
This article compares Canadian and US recruitment of highly skilled workers, defined by educational, skill, and occupational criteria. Analysis shows that Canada disproportionally recruits skilled workers as legal permanent residents whereas family reunification dominates in the US . But such contrast ignores the large temporary skilled worker flows to the US and the on‐going reliance on them, or the growing use of temporary labour in Canada, inc…
Social Origins and the Educational and Occupational Achievements of the 1.5 and Second Generations
Des enquêtes spéciales démontrent que l'origine sociale constitue un déterminant important du niveau d'instruction des enfants immigrants. Cependant, l'omission de poser des questions sur l'origine sociale dans les grandes enquêtes empêche souvent l'étude de la relation existant entre l'origine sociale et la réussite socioéconomique de la progéniture des immigrants à l'âge adulte. L'analyse de l'Enquête sociale générale—cycle 15: rétrospective su…

Educational Attainments of Immigrant Offspring: Success or Segmented Assimilation
In this article, I study the educational attainments of the adult offspring of immigrants, analyzing data from the 1996 panel of the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID). Fielded annually since 1993 by Statistics Canada, respondents are asked for the first time in 1996 to report the birthplaces of their parents, making it possible to define and study not only the foreign-born population (the first generation), but also the second generatio…
Différences dans la mobilité professionnelle des francophones et des anglophones
Les études antérieures des différences entre anglophones et francophones au Canada quant à la mobilité indiquent que quoiqu'elles existent toujours, celles-ci tendent à s'amenuiser. La présente étude compare les francophones du Québec aux anglophones de l'ensemble du Canada, à la fois dans leur ensemble et par cohortes. Deux méthodes sont utilisées, soit l'analyse log-linéaire et la régression. Les deux méthodes révèlent que quoique les différenc…

Triumphant Transitions: Socioeconomic Achievements of the Second Generation in Canada
Articulated within the last decade, the revisionary perspective on second generation integration argues that the model of equal or above average success of the second generation in North America is historically specific, based on the postwar entry of a white second generation in boom economic times. One implication is that the past patterns of second generation success may not hold now and in the future for immigrant offspring. Using data from th…

Family and Personal Networks in International Migration: Recent Developments and New Agendas
Family, friendship, and community networks underlie much of the recent migration to industrial nations. Current interest in these networks accompany the development of a migration system perspective and the growing awareness of the macro and micro determinants of migration. This article presents an overview of research findings on the determinants and consequences of personal networks. In addition, it calls for greater specification of the role o…

Immigration and Living Arrangements: Elderly Women in Canada
The foreign-born elderly in Canada include persons who immigrated as young adults but have now grown old, as well as persons who have immigrated late in life, usually under the auspices of family reunification. Considerable diversity exists among the elderly as a result of these echoes of past and current migration flows. Yet, the implication of such diversity has not been extensively researched. This article examines variation in living with fam…

The Changing Nature of Central and Southeast Asian Immigration to the United States: 1961–1972
Immigration to the United States from Asia in general and from Central and Southeast Asia in particular is of interest to students of race relations immigrant adaptation and absorption manpower recruitment and immigration policy. The interest has intensified since the adoption of the United States Immigration Act of 1965 which not only facilitated the immigration of increasing numbers of Asia-born to a record high of 119072 persons in 1972 but al…
Sex differences in occupational skill: Canada, 1961–1986

L'apprentissage à long terme à de niveaux supérieurs d'habileté professionnelle caractérise autant le marché du travail féminin que masculin. Cependant, la magnitude de cet apprentissage est plus grande pour les femmes que pour les hommes, no…

The Importance of Mother: Labor Force Participation and Intergenerational Mobility of Women
Previous research concerning the linkages between women's occupational origins and destinations has applied models developed for the study of men's intergenerational occupational mobility. In this paper, we use an approach that incorporates two unique aspects of women's occupational experiences. First, we consider housework to be a possible occupational outcome for women. Second, we consider the occupations of mothers as well as those of fathers …
The American Emigrant in Canada: Trends and Consequences
This article discusses the nature of out-migration from the United States to Canada and assesses the consequences of such emigration for the two countries. It is concluded that, excluding the British born population, being foreign born is a handicap in Canada, not an asset, and the American born overcome this occupational disadvantage by virtue of their higher social origins and education
