Educational and labour market outcomes of childhood immigrants by admission class [electronic resource] / by Feng Hou and Aneta Bonikowska.

It has been well documented that the children of immigrants in Canada outperform their peers with Canadian-born parents in educational attainment, and that the two groups have similar labour market outcomes. However, large variations by ethnicity or source country exist among the children of immigrants. This study examines the extent to which admission class (e.g., skilled workers, business immigrants, live-in caregivers, the family class and refugees) also matters in the socioeconomic outcomes of childhood immigrants who arrived in Canada before the age of18. Using the 2011 National Household Survey, linked with the Immigrant Landing File, this study finds large differences by admission class in university completion rates and earnings for childhood immigrants aged 25 to 44. Children of skilled workers and business immigrants had the highest university completion rates and earnings. Children of live-in caregivers and in the family class had the lowest university completion rates, and children of live-in caregivers and refugees landed in Canada had the lowest earnings. The analysis shows that the admission class of immigrant parents matters to their children’s outcomes partly through group differences in the education and official language ability of parents and partly through the unique pre- and postmigration circumstances experienced by each admission class. gccst Immigrants gccst Children gccst Education gccst Income gccst Statistics Statistics Canada, issuing body.
