Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though these disparities have been widely studied, more attention to the geographic variation of the labour market outcomes is warranted as the labour market position of immigrants and the Canadian-born differ across geographies; therefore, the comparison should be made in the Canadian economy but also in the context of regional and local economies. [...] This paper compares the labour market outcomes, specifically the participation and unemployment rate, and the median incomes, of immigrants and their Canadian-born counterparts using the 2006 Census data at the national and provincial levels, and across the ten largest immigrant-receiving census metropolitan areas (CMAs). [...] According to King (2009), university-educated immigrant earnings reached a 75.5 percent of the earnings of the Canadian-born in 2005, an indication that the deterioration of earnings was not a phenomenon confined to the 1980s and 1990s. [...] As the main interest for the analysis is the labour market outcomes, only immigrants and the Canadian-born population over the age of 15 - those who are able to participate in the labour force - are studied. [...] Census Metropolitan Areas Comparisons In 2006, the immigrant population in Toronto that was over the age of 15 outnumbered the Canadian-born population, while a significant number of immigrants were able to participate in the labour force in Vancouver and Montreal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First, Canada's primary source for immigrants has shifted dramatically from the United Kingdom and Europe to countries outside Europe. Second there has been a remarkable transformation in the nature of work: Canada's economy has changed from relying on resource extraction to an emphasis on manufacturing, and presently is emerging as post-industrial and knowledge-based. Pendakur combines an analysis of parliamentary debates on immigration issues with an evaluation of the regulatory and policy changes that resulted from these discussions and an analysis of how the work of immigrants changed over a five-decade. He then provides both a political and quantitative analysis by looking at issues that affect not only immigrants but minorities born in Canada in order to assess the degree to which labour market discrimination exists and whether employment equity programs are needed.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The successful integration of immigrants into the Canadian labour market is of interest to Canadian public policy and to current and potential immigrants, alike. Using data from the 2006 Census of Population, this report aims to develop a better understanding of the integration of internationally-trained educated immigrants into the Canadian labour market compared to immigrants who completed their education in Canada and the Canadian-born with a postsecondary education. The report presents a socio-demographic profile of internationally-educated immigrants with a postsecondary credential upon their arrival in Canada, and focuses on the integration of internationally-educated immigrants into the Canadian labour market.--Document.

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.

Download or read book An Analysis of the Poor Performance of Recent Immigrants and Some Observations on Immigration Policy written by Patrick Grady and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the poor performance of recent immigrants to Canada in the labour market as revealed in the Statistics Canada Census 2006 Public Use Microdata File (PUMF). It presents the data which shows that immigrants from less developed countries are doing much worse than immigrants from industrialized countries. And unlike previous studies, it focuses on why immigrants from particular countries and regions do worse than others, rather on a comparison with non-immigrants. Using regression analysis it shows that key explanatory variable for the poor performance of recent immigrants are their education, their visible minority status, their language skills, their occupations, and their countries of origin. A profiling of immigrants who have done better than non-immigrant Canadians suggests that the performance of immigrants could be improved by utilizing information from the Census on the characteristics of immigrants who succeed in labour markets to improve the selection criteria and distribution of points used in the current scoring system to choose immigrants, but this would leave untouched the problem of the underperformance of immigrants who are not selected under the point system. This paper reaffirms and updates to 2005 our knowledge that the earnings in immigrants varies significantly by country of origin and that language and the portability of education credentials is a contributing factor. It concludes with some observations on the implications of its analysis for immigration policy.

Download or read book The Labour Market Integration of Immigration and Their Role on Innovation written by Jue Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis contains three chapters evaluating the role of labour market skills in determining immigrants' labour market integration and Canada's innovation rate. In Chapter 1, I estimate how the impact of entry economic conditions on immigrants' labour market outcomes varies by the versatility of their skills. Skill versatility is measured using information on the sectoral concentration of native-born workers with a particular education field and level. Entry economic conditions are measured using city-level unemployment rates among native graduates from a similar education field and level. Since immigrants' location choices can be endogenous to geographic local economic conditions, I address the endogeneity of immigrants' location choices by exploiting the historical settlement patterns of immigrants from the same countries of origin. I find that immigrants suffer a 5 to 8 percent decline in their annual earnings when there is a one percentage-point increase in entry unemployment rates. When I incorporate the skill versatility measure in the estimation, the earnings loss is mitigated by 1 to 3 percentage points, if there is a one standard deviation increase in immigrants' skill versatility level. This effect is less evident for highly educated immigrants and it may be due to their being more likely to have pre-arranged employment before landing. I also find that city-level onward migration is more likely for immigrants who face unfavourable labour market conditions at entry, and movers do fare better than stayers conditional on initial setbacks. Meanwhile, immigrants' geographical mobility is found to be strengthened to some extent by their skill versatility. Chapter 2 examines the effect of changes in skilled-immigrant population shares in 98 Canadian cities between 1981 and 2006 on per capita patents. The Canadian case is of interest because its `points system' for selecting immigrants is viewed as a model of skilled immigration policy. Our estimates suggest unambiguously smaller beneficial impacts of increasing the university-educated immigrant population share than comparable U.S. estimates, whereas our estimates of the contribution of Canadian-born university graduates are virtually identical in magnitude to the U.S. estimates. The modest contribution of Canadian immigrants to innovation is, in large part, explained by the low employment rates of Canadian STEM-educated immigrants in STEM jobs. Our results point to the value of providing employers with a role in the immigrant screening process. Lastly, in Chapter 3, using inventors' names to identify their ethnicity and Canadian Census and NHS data to estimate ethnic populations, we estimate patenting rates for Canada's ethnic populations between 1986 and 2011. The results reveal higher patenting rates for Canada's ethnic minorities, particularly for Canadians with Korean, Japanese, and Chinese ancestry, and suggest that immigrants accounted for one-third of Canadian patents in recent years, despite comprising less than one-quarter of the adult population. Human capital characteristics, in particular the share with a PhD and the shares educated and employed in STEM fields, account for most of the ethnic-minority advantage in patenting. Our results also point to larger patenting contributions by foreign-educated compared to Canadian-educated immigrants, which runs counter to current immigrant selection policies favouring international students.

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. [...] Thus, while more years of residency may increase an immigrant's position in the labour market, and their insulation from the effects of the business cycle, the disadvantageous circumstances of their first entry into the labour market may remain evident in their longer term employment trajectory. [...] The first is that prior to the onset of the recession in late 2008, immigrants had a slightly higher unemployment rate than the Canadian-born,. [...] This would imply that the brunt of the unemployment effects in the recent recession were experienced by immigrants, and by recent immigrants in particular. [...] The pattern in Toronto roughly follows the national trend, with consistently higher levels of immigrant and recent immigrant unemployment, and a widening of the gap between these groups and the Canadian-born.
