Family Dynamics and the Integration of Professional Immigrants in Canada
This study examines the settlement experiences of recent immigrant, professional, dual-career couples through an integrated approach that considers gender-role theory, family investment hypothesis and social capital theory. Previous studies tend to draw on two main theoretical frameworks: gender-role theory, and family investment hypothesis to explain immigrant women's labour market outcomes. Independently they fail to provide a full understandin…
Gender equity in Canada's newly growing religious minorities
Using data from the 2001 Canadian census and the 2002 Ethnic Diversity Survey, we find greater gender inequality in labour force participation among the newly growing religious minorities in Canada relative to mainstream Canadians. This gender inequality is only partly conditioned by the presence of young children. Although greatest among Muslim immigrants, other groups including Hindus and Sikhs also exhibit greater gender inequality in labour f…
Do Tied Movers Get Tied Down? The Occupational Displacement of Dependent Applicant Immigrants in Canada
Race, Religion, and the Social Integration of New Immigrant Minorities in Canada
The social integration of Canada's new religious minorities is determined more by their racial minority status than by their religious affiliation or degree of religiosity, according to results from Statistics Canada's 2002 Ethnic Diversity Survey. Interview questions tap life satisfaction, affective ties to Canada, and participation in the wider community. Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Hindus are slower to integrate socially, mainly because the…
Helping hands: Neighborhood diversity, deprivation, and reciprocity of support in non-kin networks
Theories of social exchange have generally ignored the effect of neighborhood contexts on the ways in which help is informally given and received among individuals. This paper examines the relative influence of racial composition and socio-economic disadvantage of neighborhoods on reciprocity within non-kin networks. Using data from the National (US) Survey of Families and Households (NSFH), the findings refute hypotheses that predict neighborhoo…
Effects of the Home Learning Environment and Preschool Center Experience upon Literacy and Numeracy Development in Early Primary School
This study investigates the influence of aspects of home and preschool environments upon literacy and numeracy achievement at school entry and at the end of the 3rd year of school. Individuals with unexpected performance pathways (by forming demographically adjusted groups: overachieving, average, and underachieving) were identified in order to explore the effects of the home learning environment and preschool variables on child development. Mult…
I don't say I have a business in Chinatown: Chinese sub-ethnic relations in Toronto's Chinatown West
Since the late 1980s, there has been a steady increase in Sino-Vietnamese (ethnic Chinese from Vietnam) businesses moving into Chinatown West, Toronto. This paper explores the relationship between Sino-Vietnamese and other Chinese in this Chinatown context. Using several surveys of economic activity, we show that Chinatown is undergoing an ethnic succession as Hong Kong businesses move out and are replaced by Sino-Vietnamese businesses. Interview…
