Labour market outcomes of immigrant women who arrive as dependants of economic immigrant principal applicants / by Aneta Bonikowska and Feng Hou. : CS11-0019/390E-PDF
"Women who arrived in Canada as spouses of economic immigrant principal applicants were better educated and more likely to know English or French than married women who arrived in the family class. Their higher levels of human capital are related to a high degree of positive assortative mating. This study uses the 2011 National Household Survey linked to the Immigrant Landing File to examine how these differences in human capital characteristics translate into differences in labour market outcomes. Together, differences in individual characteristics and selected job characteristics accounted for nearly 70% of the observed earnings gap between female spouses of economic immigrant principal applicants and married women in the family class. These results suggest that economic immigration programs, which assess and select principal applicants based on their human capital, also indirectly selected immigrant spouses with high levels of human capital and labour market involvement"--p. 5.
