Immigrants’ Gendered Remittance‐Sending Patterns and Purposes
Research on immigrant remittances and gender is dominated by qualitative studies focusing on specific groups of immigrants; meanwhile, quantitative analysis is scarce due to data limitations. Drawing on the Study on International Money Transfers, a rare survey dataset on remittance behaviours, we compare how immigrant women and men in Canada send money abroad, with a focus on how gender intersects with marital status. We find that married immigra…
Black−White Occupational Segregation in Canada
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…

Revisiting gender occupational segregation trends in Canada
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…
The power of a simple index of neighbourhood change
While academic research on neighbourhood change has developed over the past 30 years, its measurement is often technical and complex, hampering knowledge translation of academic research to wider audiences. Based on our research on neighbourhood change in Atlantic Canadian cities, we have developed two “simple” indexes of neighbourhood change. We document the steps to creating the simple indexes and discuss what decisions are made along the way. …
The Rise of Big-City Hockey Players and Its Implication for Diversity in the National Hockey League
Canadian-raised players in the National Hockey League are increasingly coming from large cities with rising numbers of visible minority and immigrant youth. In this paper, we compare the demographic characteristics of recent big-city NHL players with those of their hometowns. We also examine which city-level characteristics are associated with the number of NHL players from the same hometown. Our analysis of publicly available hockey player data …
Changes in selection policy and refugee welfare use in Canada
With the introduction of the 2002 Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), Canada shifted its refugee selection criteria from adaptability to vulnerability. Little is known about the long‐term impact of this policy change on the economic self‐sufficiency of Government‐Assisted Refugees (GARs). Using data from the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB), we compare the long‐term receipt of social assistance (SA) incomes among three GAR coho…
Unintentional injury deaths among youth in Ontario, Canada from 2000 to 2015
Youth may be susceptible to certain types of unintentional injuries that place them at risk of death. The objective of this research was to study trends in these deaths among youth (age 15 to 24) in the Canadian province of Ontario between 2000 and 2015. It is the first study to directly assess intra‐provincial trends. Our analysis of Statistics Canada's Vital Statistics – Death Database from 2000 to 2015 finds unintentional injury death rates am…
Are refugees more likely to leave initial destinations than economic immigrants? Recent evidence from Canadian longitudinal administrative data
Secondary migration is of policy interest in many immigrant‐receiving countries when efforts are made to steer immigrants away from major urban centres. One example is refugee dispersal policy. Although previous research, mostly evaluating the policy itself, argues it would disproportionately increase the secondary migration of refugees settled in nongateway cities, quantitative analysis is limited. This study compares the long‐term secondary mig…
It's cold and there's something to do
Set within the framework of the birthplace effect literature and the seminal work of Curtis and Birch, this paper draws information from the publicly available database www.hockeydb.com and from the Census to examine the hometowns of Canadian National Hockey League (NHL) players from 1970 to 2015. It found that from a regional perspective, the distribution of players' hometowns remained fairly stable over the 46-year period with Ontario and the t…
Harmonic Dissonance
Precarious employment literature has addressed a myriad of occupations increasingly characterized by employment uncertainty and reduced commitment between workers and employers due to short-term contracts and self-employment, with particular attention given to creative industries and the gig economy in recent years. The authors argue that research on creative industries also requires consideration of the role of place in the experience of employm…
Can Rust Belt or Three Cities Explain the Sociospatial Changes in Atlantic Canadian Cities
Research on American secondary cities has largely focused on so–called “rust belt” cities and has found that they tend to have economic stagnation, racialization, and urban decay in their urban cores occurring after economic crises. Most urban research on Canadian cities has, by contrast, focused on the country's largest cities, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, and has found that urban cores are getting richer, less diverse, and undergoing infra…

Ethnic Variations in Immigrant Poverty Exit and Female Employment
Despite widespread interest in poverty among recent immigrants and female immigrant employment, research on the link between the two is limited. This study evaluates the effect of recently arrived immigrant women’s employment on the exit from family poverty and considers the implications for ethnic differences in poverty exit. It uses the bivariate probit model and the Fairlie decomposition technique to analyze data from the Longitudinal Survey o…
Racial Variations in Ethnic Identity among the Children of Immigrants in Canada
Using data from the Ethnic Diversity Survey, we study the impact of parental human capital, family socialization, co-ethnic friendship, and experience of discrimination on ethnic identity formation among the children of immigrants from diverse ethnic backgrounds. In addition, we examine the extent to which these factors account for racial variations in ethnic identity attainment. The results show that racial minority children of immigrants are mo…
