Immigrant earnings growth in Canada, longitudinal versus cross-sectional data


Table summary
This table displays the results of immigrant earnings growth in canada. The information is grouped by years since migration (appearing as row headers), lad-imdb, census, longitudinal, cross-sectional and column 1, calculated using column 1, column 2, column 3 and coefficient from regression model units of measure (appearing as column headers).
Years since migration LAD-IMDB Census
Longitudinal Cross-sectional
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
  coefficient from regression model
1985-to-1989 cohort  
6 to 10 years 0.117 0.065 0.057
11 to 15 years 0.271 0.266 0.237
16 to 20 years 0.271 0.333 0.314
1990-to-1994 cohort  
6 to 10 years 0.321 0.371 0.374
11 to 15 years 0.391 0.494 0.498
1995-to-1999 cohort  
6 to 10 years 0.216 0.275 0.267
Note(s): The coefficients provide a rough estimate of percentage growth; e.g., the earnings growth in the longitudinal data between 0-to-5 years and 6-to-10 years in Canada for the cohort entering between 1985 and 1989 was approximately 11.7%. The reference category is immigrants with one to five years since migration. All coefficients are statistically significant at the 1% level. The table reports the coefficients on the "years since migration" dummy variables in model 1. LAD: Longitudinal Administrative Database; IMDB: Longitudinal Immigration Database.
