Immigrants born in Southeast Asia, particularly those from the Philippines, had the strongest labour market performance of all immigrants to Canada in 2006, regardless of when they landed in the country, according to a new study.

Among very recent immigrants, only those born in Southeast Asia had unemployment rates, employment rates and participation rates that were more or less on par with the core working-age Canadian-born population.

Those born elsewhere in Asia (including the Middle East) as well as individuals born in Latin America, Europe and Africa all had higher unemployment rates and lower employment rates in 2006 than their Canadian-born counterparts.

Working-age immigrants born in Europe had 2006 labour market outcomes that were similar to the Canadian born, but this was the case mainly for recent and established immigrants.

Immigrants born in Africa experienced difficulties in the labour market, regardless of when they had landed. The estimated 70,000 very recent African-born immigrants had an unemployment rate of 20.8%, more than four times higher than that of the Canadian born.

Eroja eri etnisten ryhmien työllistymisessä on käsitelty tarkemmalla resoluutiolla mm. OECD:n raporteissa.

He ovat tosin olleet fiksumpia maahanmuuton profiloinnissa kuin eurooppalaiset virkaveljensä. Kuitenkin ongelmien ratkaisupaletti on tuttuakin tutumpi: epätoivoinen rakenteellisen rasismin metsästys, antirasistiset kampanjat ym.
