Venue:
Hybrid Format In-person at CERC Migration Office Online via Zoom
Join us for an insightful event that delves into the social dynamics of second-generation immigrants in Canada. This event will present new research findings on their educational and employment experiences across different birth cohorts from the 1960s to the 1990s, exploring opportunities for advancement compared to mnstream Canadian citizens.
The study, which encompasses five racialized groups South Asian, Chinese, Black, Filipino, and Latin American and third-and-higher generation White Canadians, will reveal divergences in terms of social mobility - specifically education progression and earnings attnment. It will highlight inequalities by ger and racial group, indicating that recent cohorts have begun to fall below the mnstream average.
Our comprehensive analysis on educational outcomes and economic well-being rses concerns about long-term integration dynamics among minority groups in Canada. The insights are relevant not only for individuals from these backgrounds but also for policymakers, researchers, civil society leaders, and anyone interested in Canada's level of inclusivity as a society.
Following an overview of key findings, we will convene a diverse panel featuring experts who will discuss policy implications, answering questions like:
