Intergenerational education mobility and labour market outcomes : variation among the second generation of immigrants in Canada / by Wen-Hao Chen and Feng Hou. : CS11-0019/418E-PDF

"Using 2016 Canadian Census data, this article examines the socioeconomic status of the second generation of immigrants, whose population has become increasingly diverse. The analysis focuses on group differences by visible minority status in two aspects relating to socioeconomic mobility: (1) intergenerational progress in educational attainment, which indicates the ability to achieve higher education regardless of parents’ education, and (2) the relationship between education and labour market outcomes, which reveals the ability to convert educational qualifications into economic well-being. The results in general paint a very positive picture for the children of immigrants regarding the first aspect, while mixed results are evident for the second aspect. In particular, some visible minority groups are characterized by high educational attainment and average earnings, while some other groups experience low education mobility nd low labour market returns to education. These results suggest that there are divergent paths of socioeconomic integration among the second generation"--Abstract, p. 5.
