Ethnoracial Origins, Social Capital, and Earnings

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyse ethnoracial differences in income attainment, as well as differences in earnings that can be attributed to social capital. The data set is the Ethnic Diversity Survey, a large survey of Canadians conducted by Statistics Canada in 2002. Bivariate and multivariate analyses show that ethnoracial minorities are disadvantaged when compared with the British or whites in general. This disparity remains even after controlling for a host of theoretically relevant variables. The… Show more

“…They are more likely to live in poverty, often in areas with concentrations of poverty (Hiebert ; Wang and Truelove ). They experience unemployment and suffer from occupational segregation (Kazemipur and Nakhaie ; Nakhaie , ; Nakhaie and Kazemipur ; Picot and Hou ). They also suffer from discrimination (Reitz et al ; Tator and Herny ).…”

“…This focus on communal social capital relates to the broader literature on immigrant economic achievement. One of its consistent findings is the persisting low income of immigrants, and the often very large differences between ethno‐immigrant groups (Borjas, 2006; Nakhaie, 2007). Much of this difference persists across generations and, as Borjas notes in the United States, is largely due to what he calls the “ethnic environment,” or the socioeconomic conditions of particular groups (which are of course affected by how they are treated by the host society).…”

“…Esser (2007) concurs that the ethnic differentiation of immigrant populations, based on networks and organizations, can lead to sharp inequalities and ethnic hierarchy. Kazemipur (2006), and Nakhaie (2007), find that social capital has a generally weak influence on the socioeconomic outcome of immigrants in Canada, and further declines in importance with time spent since migration.…”

“…Ainsi, le manque d'information sur les normes de recherche d'emploi ou sur les opportunités offertes dans leur domaine pourrait les désavantager. Pour conclure, des études suggèrent qu'il existe des différences et des inégalités non seulement entre les hommes et les femmes (Burt, 1998;Potter, 1999;Nakhaie, 2007), mais aussi entre les femmes ayant des niveaux différents de capital humain (Sanders et al, 2002). Afin de comprendre les obstacles qui se dressent sur la route des femmes immigrantes qualifiées, il importe de porter une attention particulière à une des difficultés majeures rencontrées par ces femmes, soit la reconnaissance de leurs acquis et de leurs compétences, problématique vers laquelle nous allons maintenant nous tourner.…”
