- 11. Bosses of Their Own: Are Children of Immigrants More Likely than Their Parents to Be Self-Employed? ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2012341Geography: CanadaDescription:
Self-employment has been regarded as an important pathway for many immigrants to engage in the labour market. However, little is known about self-employment among the children of immigrants. Using the 1981 and 2006 Canadian censuses of population and a generational cohort method of analysis, this paper compares the self-employment rates of immigrant parents and the children of immigrant parents when both were 25 to 44 years of age. The focus is on three questions: (1) Are children of immigrants likelier or less likely than immigrant parents to be self-employed?; (2) Are children of immigrants likelier or less likely than children of Canadian-born parents to be self-employed?; (3) Is the generational change in the self-employment rate from immigrant parents to the children of immigrants different from the generational change from Canadian-born parents to their children?

Release date: 2012-02-15 - 14. Seniors returning to Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X201200111618Geography: CanadaDescription:
The age and other characteristics of emigrants who return to Canada may have social and economic implications - particularly with respect to transfer programs for seniors. This study uses census data to address several questions related to Canadian residents who previously emigrated to other countries: Do seniors account for a large proportion of returned emigrants? From where do older emigrants return? Do the characteristics of older returned emigrants differ from those of older Canadians who did not live abroad? Do the amounts and sources of income received in old age differ between these groups? How do all these results differ for the Canadian-born versus immigrant returnees?

Release date: 2012-07-27 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2012344Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper examines differences in postsecondary-participation rates between students with and without immigrant backgrounds in Switzerland and Canada. For both countries, a rich set of longitudinal data, including family background, family aspirations regarding postsecondary education, and students' secondary-school performance as measured by Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) scores, are used to explain these differences. Two groups are analyzed: all 15-year-old students; and all low-performing 15-year-old secondary-school students.
Release date: 2012-07-27 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X201200111682Description:
Sample allocation issues are studied in the context of estimating sub-population (stratum or domain) means as well as the aggregate population mean under stratified simple random sampling. A non-linear programming method is used to obtain "optimal" sample allocation to strata that minimizes the total sample size subject to specified tolerances on the coefficient of variation of the estimators of strata means and the population mean. The resulting total sample size is then used to determine sample allocations for the methods of Costa, Satorra and Ventura (2004) based on compromise allocation and Longford (2006) based on specified "inferential priorities". In addition, we study sample allocation to strata when reliability requirements for domains, cutting across strata, are also specified. Performance of the three methods is studied using data from Statistics Canada's Monthly Retail Trade Survey (MRTS) of single establishments.

Release date: 2012-05-17 - 10. Choice or Necessity: Do Immigrants and Their Children Choose Self-employment for the Same Reasons? ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2012342Geography: CanadaDescription:
Immigrants in major industrialized countries are disproportionately represented in self-employment as compared to the domestic-born. Using a generational cohort method and data from the 20% sample file of the 1981 Canadian Census and the 20% sample file of the 2006 Canadian Census, this study examines whether the effects of three important determinants of self-employment--expected earnings differentials between paid employment and self-employment, difficulties in the labour market, and ethnic enclaves--differ between immigrants and the Canadian-born, between children of immigrants and children of the Canadian-born, and between children of immigrants and their parents.
