Abstract

This study assesses gender gaps in political participation within the host country and in transnational activities among immigrants, using a survey of more than 1000 immigrants in Quebec (Canada). More specifically, the study examines whether premigration experiences with gender equality shapes immigrants’ political participation. We find no evidence of gender gaps in political activities in the host country, but observe a gender gap in transnational political activities varying in size depending on levels of gender equality in immigrants’ countries of origin. The analyses suggest that structural opportunities, more than political socialization, might account for this gender gap.

境内外移民政治参与中的性别差异:政治社会化还是机会结构?
摘要本研究通过对加拿大魁北克省1000多名移民的调查,评估了移民在东道国政治参与和跨国活动中的性别差距。更具体地说,该研究考察了移民前性别平等的经历是否会影响移民的政治参与。我们没有发现东道国政治活动中的性别差距的证据,但观察到跨国政治活动中的性别差距在大小上取决于移民原籍国的性别平等水平。分析表明,结构性机会,而不是政治社会化,可能是造成这种性别差距的原因。
