Abstract

Using the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada (LSIC) and the linked LSIC-Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB), this study finds that of all immigrant women in Canada, those from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have the lowest labour force participation rate. After controlling for various socioeconomic factors and employing logistic regressions on multiple rounds of the LSIC and LSIC-IMDB datasets, this study claims that patriarchal gender roles may have survived for MENA women even after a few years of living in Canada, resulting in relatively low labour force participation.

加拿大移民妇女的劳动力参与:特别关注来自中东和北非的女性移民

利用加拿大移民纵向调查(LSIC)和相关的LSIC-纵向移民数据库(IMDB)，本研究发现，在加拿大的所有移民女性中，来自中东和北非(MENA)地区的女性劳动力参与率最低。在控制了各种社会经济因素并对LSIC和LSIC- imdb数据集进行了多轮逻辑回归后，本研究声称，即使在加拿大生活了几年后，男权性别角色可能仍然存在于中东和北非地区的女性中，导致劳动力参与率相对较低。

期刊介绍： The Journal aims to publish the best research on international development issues in a form that is accessible to practitioners and policy-makers as well as to an academic audience. The main focus is on the social sciences - economics, politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology, as well as development studies - but we also welcome articles that blend the natural and social sciences in addressing the challenges for development. The Journal does not represent any particular school, analytical technique or methodological approach, but aims to publish high quality contributions to ideas, frameworks, policy and practice, including in transitional countries and underdeveloped areas of the Global North as well as the Global South.
