Homeownership amongst second-generation immigrants in Canada
Homeownership is a primary aspiration for many immigrants to Canada, and although copious literature follows the progression of newer arrivals, much less research focuses on the success levels of their children, particularly those born in Canada. In this article, we look at the homeownership rates of second-generation Black, Chinese, South Asian, and White Immigrants, comparing them to each other and their first-generation counterparts. We find s…
Immigration as a Social Determinant of Oral Health: Does the 'Healthy Immigrant Effect' Extend to Self-rated Oral Health in Ontario, Canada
Immigrants' oral health is rarely explored in Canada, despite its impact on physical, social, and economic well-being. Drawing on data from the 2014 Canadian Community Health Survey, we address this void by comparing self-rated oral health among recent immigrants, established immigrants, and the native-born in Ontario, Canada. The analysis includes three sets of control variables capturing the resettlement stress perspective, convergence perspect…
Between Two Worlds: Source-Country Gender Roles and Gender Differences in Educational Attainment among Immigrant Children
Recent scholarship has focused on the relationship between source-country characteristics such as female labor force participation, fertility, level of economic development, gender role attitudes, and immigrants' labor market assimilation. These studies refer to national-level factors when accounting for the vast differences in home-country groups in labor market outcomes. This study asks to what extent these source-country characteristics affect…
Obligations and Expectations: Perceived Relationship between Transnational Housing Investment and Housing Consumption Decisions among Ghanaian Immigrants in Canada
Transnational housing investment is a pervasive practice among many migrant groups residing in various destination countries; including Ghanaian migrants living in Canada. For many, the need to engage in transnational housing investment is beyond the standard rationale and has two prime significance; symbolic and practical utility. Engagement in this endeavour requires substantial financial commitments over extensive periods of time with potentia…

Does helping them benefit me? Examining the emotional cost and benefit of immigrants' pecuniary remittance behaviour in Canada
Impact of Remittance Behaviour on Immigrant Homeownership Trajectories: An Analysis of the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants in Canada from 2001 to 2005
Choice or necessity: Do Immigrants and Their Children Choose Self-Employment for the Same Reasons
Using a generational cohort method and the 1981 and 2006 Canadian Census 20 per cent sample files, this study examines whether the effects of three important determinants of self-employment - expected earnings differentials between paid and self-employment, difficulties in the labour market, and ethnic enclave - differ between immigrants and non-immigrants. Unemployment had a stronger push effect on self-employment among immigrant fathers than am…
Bosses of Their Own: Are the Children of Immigrants More Likely to be Self-Employed than their Parents
Using a generational cohort method, this paper compares the self-employment rates of immigrant parents and their children when they were in the same age range of 25 to 44. The focus is on three questions: (1) Are the children of immigrants more or less likely to be self-employed than their parents? (2) Are the children of immigrants more or less likely to be self-employed than the children of Canadian-born parents? (3) Is the generational change …
Women's Autonomy and Unintended Pregnancies in the Philippines
To date, very few studies have examined what contributes to unwanted and mistimed births in the Philippines. In a country where women have higher educational levels than their male counterparts, and their status is among the highest in Asia, it is expected that unwanted births will be low. The evidence, however, points to the contrary as 44% of births reported in the last five years were unintended. Using the 2003 Philippines National Demographic…
Pursuit of university education among the children of immigrants in Canada: The roles of parental human capital and social capital
Using the 2002 Ethnic Diversity Survey, this article examines the roles of parental human capital and social capital in the pursuit of university education among immigrant youth in Canada. We find segmented patterns across the largest minority groups in Canada, with the Chinese and the south Asians, such as Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, obtaining the highest levels of education, while Blacks show the lowest rate of university education. O…
Gender Differences in Educational Attainment among the Children of Canadian Immigrants
This article examines the gender differences in university education attainment among the children of Canadian immigrants, observing the extent to which parental human capital and social capital in the family and immigrant community may be more important and/or different for men and women. This allows us to examine the degree to which structural and cultural factors used to explain racial differences in academic achievement are also viable explan…
The effects of harassment and victimization on self-rated health and mental health among Canadian adolescents
Ethnic Differences in Educational Attainment among the Children of Canadian Immigrants
Using the 2002 Ethnic Diversity Survey, this article examines the ethnic differences in university education attainment among the children of immigrants in Canada. We found that most groups achieve clear upward mobility across generations, while Blacks and Filipinos show signs of stagnation. Asians (with the exception of Filipinos) attain higher academic achievements than most groups of European origins even when accounting for group variations i…
Family Diversity and Children's Behavioral Outcomes in Canada: From Structure to Process
Using data from the 1994/1995 and 1996/1997 Canadian National Longitudinal Survey for Children and Youth, we explore the roles of economic resources and family processes as explanations for family structure differences on children's internalizing (emotional disorder) and externalizing (physical aggression and property offenses) behaviors. Our results show that household income was significant for children's internalizing behavior but was not subs…
