Greedy for who? Interracial marriage and co-ethnic friendship groups
How do race and marriage alter friendship networks? Past research and theory suggest that marriage changes friendship networks. We consider whether interracial relationships could alter the ethnic composition of friendships as friendship networks change. Using the Canadian Ethnic Diversity Survey, we examine the relationship between interracial marriage and co-ethnic friendship. We find that individuals in interracial marriages are less likely to…
Canadian immigrant youth and co-ethnic friendship group change
Cross-ethnic friendships are at the heart of the immigration experience. We examine the incidence and change of co-ethnic friendship groups among 1.5 and second-generation immigrant youth in Canada using the nationally representative Ethnic Diversity Survey. We find that visible minority immigrant youth friendships are more co-ethic than those of non-visible minority immigrant youth. We also find visible minority individuals’ friendship groups be…
Return Migrant or Diaspora: An Exploratory Study of New-Generation Chinese-Canadian Youth Working in Hong Kong
The School-to-Work Transitions of Newcomer Youth in Canada
Over half of all migrants to Canada are under 29 years of age and one quarter arrive as refugees. Studies on occupational achievements and labour market status have been largely ignored in favour of studies on adult migrants rather than on youth. This paper uses data collected from two sources: a national study of newly-arrived newcomer youth living in Toronto, Hamilton, Winnipeg and Vancouver using qualitative interviews, and a quantitative anal…
Double Jeopardy: An Exploratory Study of Youth From Immigrant Families Entering the Job Market
This article reports the findings of an online survey and 16 in-depth interviews that show family and friends are neither the predominant nor most useful social resource for young jobseekers from immigrant families. Instead, they tend to use more formal job-search strategies. In our sample, the employment outcomes of ethno-racial minority immigrant youth were less desirable than those of their counterparts from the dominant group. Based on the st…
Interethnic Romantic Relationships: Enacting Affiliative Ethnic Identities
Through in-depth interviews with respondents who were in interethnic relationships (N =28), the authors extended and refined a new approach to mate selection based on affiliative ethnic identities (T. Jimenez, 2010). Rather than assimilation and a breakdown of ethnic group boundaries, they found that people pursued interethnic relationships because of the ethnic differences they include. These relationships gave them access to an affiliate ethnic…
Immigrant Youth and Employment: Lessons Learned from the Analysis of LSIC and 82 Lived Stories
Riding the Boom: Labour Market Experiences of New Generation Youth from Visible Minority Immigrant Families
With changes in the source of origin of immigrants, a new cohort of new generation youth from visible minority immigrant families has begun to be established and become the key replacement of the aging Canadian labour force. Based on existing research, being young, being visible, and coming from an immigrant family are possible disadvantages in the labour market. Research on this new generation youth, however, is limited. This paper reports findi…
Managing Money in Marriage: Multilevel and Cross-National Effects of the Breadwinner Role
We examine whether institutionalized practices and beliefs regarding breadwinning roles are associated with the choice of more or less equal money management strategies in marriage. Using cross-national data from 21 country contexts in the International Social Survey Programme and multilevel modeling, we find that in contexts of shared breadwinning, there is a greater likelihood of shared management of money, controlling for the relative income c…
