Book Synopsis The Double-negative Effect on the Earnings of Foreign-born Females in Canada by : Abul F. M. Shamsuddin

This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the potential 'double-negative effect' on the earnings of foreign-born married women in Canada. The double-negative effect is measured as the sum of the effects of gender and birthplace on earnings. This study observes that the difference in productivity-related characteristics explains a small proportion of the difference in earnings between a typical native-born male and a typical foreign-born female. Discrimination by gender, rather than by birthplace, is the main source of the earnings gap. About 63 to 70 percent of the difference in mean log earnings is attributed to gender discrimination, while the impact of birthplace is less than 15 percent. This paper argues that in the presence of the 'double-negative effect' on the earnings of female immigrants, the observed differences in earnings between the native-born male and the foreign-born female cannot be used as an argument against 'family class' immigration in Canada.

Book Synopsis Language Proficiency and Returns to Female Immigrants in Canada by : Idris Ademuyiwa

This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - Job market economics, University of Waterloo, course: Labour Economics, language: English, abstract: The literature on returns to immigrants has paid little attention to female immigrants despite continuous increases in female labor force participation and its peculiarities. Using the 2011 National Households Survey of Canada, this paper investigates the effect of language proficiency on returns to female immigrant groups in Canada and the effect across wage distributions. Our results show that returns to female immigrant groups increase with the level of language proficiency and that language penalizes immigrants at higher quantiles of wage distribution more. Also, we find that OLS estimates are biased and inconsistent where sample selection problems exist.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Literacy on Immigrant Earnings by : Ana Ferrer
Download or read book The Effect of Literacy on Immigrant Earnings written by Ana Ferrer and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We use a special Canadian dataset containing both literacy test scores and standard labour market variables to examine the impact of literacy on immigrant earnings. Having a literacy measure allows us to examine issues related to discrimination and the sources of lower returns to foreign acquired education and experience among immigrants. We find that the native-born literacy distribution (assessed in English or French) dominates that for immigrants. However, immigrantsand the native born appear to obtain the same return to their literacy skills. We argue that this does not support a discrimination explanation for immigrant-native born earnings differentials. Immigrant shortfalls in literacy can account for about one-half of the earnings gap between university educated immigrants and similarly educated native-born workers. However, low returns to foreign acquired experience have a larger impact on the differential and those low returns are not related to literacy differences. Thus, low literacy among immigrants is an important input to understanding immigrant-native born earnings differentials but is not the dominant explanation.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Immigrant Language Skills on Canadian Wages by : Seda Gunduz
Download or read book The Impact of Immigrant Language Skills on Canadian Wages written by Seda Gunduz and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis consists of three chapters investigating the impact of immigrant language skills on Canadian wages. The first chapter, "Linguistic diversity among Canadian immigrants: 1981-2006", describes the changes in linguistic diversity among Canadian immigrants, as measured by a preferred linguistic distance measure, the Levenshtein Distance (LD) Index, and documents socio-demographic characteristics of recent immigrants as well as their labour market performance based on their language capital at the time of entry. The LD is an approximation of immigrants' language skills in the Canadian official languages and represents the "distance" of an immigrant's reported language to the Canadian official languages. Using the 20% micro-data files of the Canadian Censuses between 1981 and 2006, I assign each immigrant an index number based on two language measures: mother tongue and home language. French and English are defined as the Canadian official languages in Quebec and outside of Quebec, respectively. The main findings suggest that although immigrants' mother tongues became more "distant" to the Canadian official languages in both regions over time, the language skill of an average immigrant based on home language remained almost the same in Quebec, in particular, between 1981 and 1996. In terms of immigrants' socio-demographic characteristics and their labour market performance, general patterns were similar across the two regions, although there were significant differences by language groups. In particular, the change in immigrants' wages by language groups is suggestive of the role of language skills in determining wages. The second chapter, "Immigrant versus native men? Substitutability and the role of linguistic diversity in Canada", estimates the degree of substitutability between immigrant and native men by incorporating immigrants' language skills into the analysis and calculates the potential wage effects of immigration on Canadian wages. Using the 20% micro-data files of the Canadian Censuses between 1981 and 2006 and imposing a nested-CES production function on the Canadian economy, I estimate immigrant-native substitutability based on immigrants' language skills in addition to education levels and years of labour market experience. I use the LD Index to represent immigrants' language skills by the distance of the mother tongue and home language of an immigrant to English outside of Quebec and to French in Quebec. I define three language groups for immigrants as the high language-skilled, the medium language-skilled, and the low language-skilled. The key findings are as follows. First, home language-based estimates suggest imperfect substitutability in Canada outside of Quebec in some cases. Second, by language skill groups, the low language-skilled immigrants are more likely to be imperfect substitutes for the Canadian-born. Third, the findings for Quebec are substantially different from those for Canada outside of Quebec. My simulations suggest that the long-run effect of immigration on immigrants' wages was negative between 1981 and 2006 while the long-run effect of immigration on the wages of the Canadian-born was small but positive over the same period. The third chapter, "Gender, linguistic diversity, and labour market substitutability", uses the same methodology and data sources as in the second chapter to incorporate female workers into the analysis of immigrant-native substitutability. This study estimates the elasticity of substitution between immigrant language groups and natives for female workers and the pooled sample of male and female workers. The findings suggest that the degree of substitutability between female immigrants and female natives is similar to the degree of substitutability between male immigrants and male natives. The main results do not change for the pooled sample. Due to potential differences between language accumulation processes between female and male immigrants, the third chapter also estimates female-male immigrants substitutability based on language skills, education levels, and years of labour market experience. The findings suggest that female and male immigrants are imperfect substitutes outside of Quebec regardless of language measures.
Book Synopsis How Much Should Immigrants Speak English in Canada? by : Seong Jun Choi
Download or read book How Much Should Immigrants Speak English in Canada? written by Seong Jun Choi and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates immigrant assimilation in Canada; specifically the impact English language proficiency has on wage differentials between adult male immigrants and native workers. Using 1991, 1996 and 2001 Canada Census reports, the analysis employs separate cross-sectional regression, as well as quasi-panel regression. Findings are consistent with the hypothesis that greater English proficiency enhances earnings in the Canadian labour market. It further supports that immigrants at different English skill levels experience varied economic assimilation into the labour market. Most immigrants face wage disparities due to limited access to jobs. Such limited access to Canadian employment can be attributed to primarily poor English skills, as well as immigration status. Finally, English language proficiency and return to post-migration experience, or education appear to be substitutes, that is, those with greater proficiency in English have a smaller effect of time spent in Canada on earnings, but not for those without any English knowledge.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Based on the income differentials among native Canadians, Chinese immigrants and Indian immigrants, this report focuses on the educational quality and language proficiency that might account for the income gap. In addition, we study the effect of earnings assimilation throughout the immigration time horizon. On one hand, the statistics and empirical results indicate that education quality and language proficiency explain part of the income gap. On the other hand, the empirical work shows that Chinese and Indian immigrants can assimilate to narrow the income gap, however, the effect of their earnings assimilation is weaker than immigrants outside China and India."--Page ii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Numerous studies have demonstrated that higher proficiency in the language spoken in the destination country improves immigrant labour market outcomes. However, because of a lack of objective measures of language skills, previous studies have mainly drawn on subjective measures of language proficiency and were confined to the effect of only one dimension or general language skills. This study examines the effects of test-based measures of official language proficiency in four dimensions - listening, speaking, reading and writing - on immigrant employment and earnings. The analysis focuses on economic principal applicants admitted through the Express Entry (EE) system who immigrated to Canada from 2015 to 2018. A self-reported language measure based on self-reported knowledge of official languages at immigration and mother tongue is also examined for comparison"--Abstract, page 1.
