Book excerpt: The datasets used by the project include a range of large-scale surveys such as the Census, the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada, the Ethnic Diversity Survey, the Workplace and Employee Survey, the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics, the Labour Force Survey and the Permanent Residents Data System. [...] THE DATA: 2006 CENSUS The census is one of the primary sources of information on the demographic, social and economic characteristics of Canada and Canadians (Statistics Canada, 2007). [...] Of the immigrant men and women who arrived between 2001 and 2006, 45.5% of men and 40.1% of women had a university degree, compared to 24.9% for men and 22.5% for women who arrived between 1981 and 1990. [...] At the bottom of the labour market, middle-aged adults between the ages of 35 and 44 years who did not finish high school have higher earnings than 45 to 64 year-olds with the same education. [...] On the other hand, the lowest earners for both Canadian-born and immigrants are those in the 25-34 age groups, recent entrants in the labour market.
