Immigrant Fertility in Canada 2001–2021: A Brief Report
Canada has low fertility and relies on immigration to support the labor force and population growth. However, if recent waves of immigrants have the same or lower rates of fertility than native-born Canadians, then immigration becomes a demographic revolving door rather than long-term solution for the country’s population pressures. This paper provides estimates for immigrant fertility in Canada 2001–2021, examining heterogeneity by age at migrat…
Administrative data linkage in Canada: Implications for sociological research
This paper explores some of the implications that administrative data, defined as data initially collected for purposes other than research, will have for Sociology. Although administrative data are “found” rather than “made” and, in turn, pose several challenges, we argue that the potential of these data warrant the investment, and may lead to a new methodological imagination that can shed a light on time‐tested concepts and advance our understa…
Becoming Permanent: The Transition Characteristics of Temporary Foreign Workers to Permanent Residents in Canada
In recent years, Canada has been not only welcoming growing numbers of temporary foreign workers (TFWs), but also, increasingly, creating pathways that allow workers and their families to become permanent residents. In this paper, we use a series of unique longitudinal files to study the factors that predict a TFW’s transition to permanence. We find that age, sex, skill level and duration as a temporary resident are all important factors for unde…
Gender geography in Japan: The trajectory, fruits of research and future challenges
The indication by female geographers outside of Japan that, due to the original dearth of female geographers, a gender perspective had been missing from geography held true for Japan as well. In 1993, Yoshida was the first person to discuss the importance of a gender perspective in a Japanese journal of geography. Nearly 25 years have passed since its publication, and the aim of this paper is to investigate what developments have taken place in J…
What do Sponsored Parents and Grandparents Contribute
Canada increasingly favours immigration policies based on human capital theory and economic outcomes. Consequently, while immigration is on the increase there is a downward trend in the number of "family class" entrants admitted to the country. The group most seriously affected is sponsored parents and/or grandparents who are also the most vulnerable to criticisms against family class immigration. The discussion is centered on the perceived lack …
A novel screen using the Reck tumor suppressor gene promoter detects both conventional and metastasis-suppressing anticancer drugs
The membrane-anchored matrix metalloproteinase-regulator RECK is often downregulated in various types of cancers; the levels of residual RECK in resected tumors often correlate with better prognosis. Forced expression of RECK in cancer cells suppresses tumor angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis in xenograft models. RECK is therefore a promising marker for benignancy and a potential effector in cancer therapy. We established a cell line containi…
Inégalité salariale, mobilité salariale et commerce international au Québec et en Ontario
Selon certaines théories, la mondialisation aurait des effets négatifs sur le marché du travail, notamment sur l'accroissement des inégalités salariales. D'autre part, on fait souvent valoir que les inégalités sont largement déterminées par les choix politiques et, par exemple, que les gouvernements sociaux-démocrates travaillent à réduire les inégalités salariales. Dans ce texte, nous mettons à l'épreuve ces affirmations et étudions l'inégalité …
Training and the Earnings of Immigrant Males: Evidence from the Canadian Workplace and Employee Survey
Objective. To improve on the existing research on earnings differentials between visible minority immigrants and the native‐born, and on the role of discrimination in producing that difference. To do this we introduce into the analysis: (1) access to training and (2) training effects on earnings growth. Method. Using a panel data set containing information on training we test cross‐sectional models of access to training, cross‐sectional models of…
