Extractions: (Published) (RePEc:cje:issued:v:31:y:1998:i:3:p:518-548) Abstract: The literature on ethnically based earnings differentials in Canada has focused on differences either between whites and visible minorities or between particular ethnic groups. In this paper, the authors examine both earnings differentials between whites and visible minorities, and earnings differentials within the white and visible-minority groupings. Among both men and women they find substantial earnings differentials both between and within the white and visible-minority groupings. Differentials between whites and visible minorities suggest that the visible-minority category is a useful indicator of economic discrimination. Differentials within these groupings, however, suggest that it is only a rough indicator.

Extractions: Search Rediff A P Kamath Canada proclaims its commitment to multiculturalism, but when it comes to funding religious schools, at least one Canadian province, Ontario, would do so only for Catholic schools. The province also gives aids to public schools. Despite a spirited effort by a number of religious groups including Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs, Jews and Orthodox Christians in recent weeks, Ontario is refusing to change its policy. Education Minister Janet Ecker is not persuaded by the argument that several other Canadian provinces give money to other religious establishments to start schools. Ecker points to the British North America Act that prohibits the funding of non-Catholic and private schools. If the protesters want to have their way, she suggests, the law should be changed first. The protesters recently formed the Coalition for Justice in Education Funding and urged Ottawa to comply with a recent United Nations ruling that Ontario discriminates by funding Catholic schools, and not the schools of other faiths. Advocates of support for religious schools argue that such funding would cost Canada about $ 300 million. They also point out the province's budget for education is over $ 14 billion.

RAYMOND BRETON, WSEVOLOD W. ISAJIW, WARREN E. KALBACH, and JEFFREY G. REITZ. Toronto: University of Toronto Press 1990. Pp. viii, 342. $50.00 cloth, $22.50 paper Reviewed by FRANCA IACOVETTA, University of Toronto The focus of the study is Toronto, and the 'ethnic' groups considered include white European groups (such as Germans, Ukrainians, Jews, and Italians), Anglo-Canadians (referred to as the Majority Canadian group), British (English, Scots, and Irish), and two 'visible minority' groups - Chinese and West Indians. The authors - all of them distinguished scholars of ethnicity - draw on census material for 1971 and 1981 and a large survey/ interview sample of more than 2000 residents of Toronto. Their primary concern is to explore whether the 'integration' (or, in their words, 'societal incorporation') of immigrants and ethnic Canadians necessarily requires minorities to abandon their ethnic ties (eg, neighbourhood, associations, language) for 'Canadian' alternatives and whether integration necessarily results in the loss over time of ethnic identity. What the authors clearly show is that earlier sociological models, as well as stereotypical and common-sense assumptions about such phenomena, have been seriously flawed. Earlier models, for instance, assumed that residential dispersion was an important indicator of immigrant/ethnic integration; that is, as immigrant populations became more established they moved out of their 'ethnic' neighbourhoods. It has also long been assumed that access to better jobs and higher incomes (ie, class mobility), while it required better educational levels, also necessarily involved the 'shedding' of ethnic ties and identity.
Ethnic Identification
how immigration, knowledge of Canada=s official languages, age, and multiple ethnicorigins affect the linguistic retention rate of the six community groups.
http://www.utpjournals.com/product/cmlr/574/identification7.html

Extractions: Ethnic Identification and Heritage Languages in Canada is a thin volume that presents a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between ethnic identification and the ability to speak heritage languages. The English version (February 2000) was preceded by the French language original, published in the fall of 1999 (L=appartenance ethnique et les langues patrimoniales au Canada). In both versions, author Jack Jedwab analyzes statistics generated from the 1991 and 1996 censuses to examine patterns of ethnic identification and language use among six non-official linguistic community groups (Chinese, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Ukranian, and Polish) in 18 of Canada=s larger census metropolitan areas (CMAs). An interesting postscript is also included in the later English edition, describing the media coverage of Jedwab=s study, which forecasts the future of Chinese languages in Canada. The third theme (chapters 5B7) explores the interconnection between ethnic and linguistic identification among three age cohorts of these six groups. The statistics in chapter 5 support the view that the degree of retention of a heritage language is associated closely with individual identification with the related ethnic group, whereas chapter 6 shows that second-generation immigrant youth of the six groups are the ones who usually learn the heritage language as a second language. The results presented in chapter 7 reveal that the ability for single ethnic group members to speak the corresponding heritage language is highest among seniors. In these chapters, Jedwab demonstrates that Chinese speakers maintain a greater consistency in the relationship between single ethnic origin and the ability to speak a heritage language in comparison to the other five community groups.

Extractions: December 1991 Critics of the U.S. health care system often point to the disadvantages faced by minorities. On the average, African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans are less likely to have health insurance, see a physician or enter a hospital. But is national health insurance the answer? Both economic theory and empirical studies show that minorities fare worse under systems of nonprice rationing than they do in a marketplace where prices allocate resources. What little evidence we have about health care rationing in the United States is consistent with experience in other fields. Take the rationing of organ transplants, for example. According to the United Network for Organ Sharing, whites received 97.6 percent of the pancreases and high percentages of livers, kidneys and hearts in 1988. The Pittsburgh Press found that where the donors were not living relatives, the average wait for a kidney transplant in 1988 and 1989 was 14 months for black patients and only 8.8 months for whites. Note that in addition to race, income also matters. A study by the Urban Institute found that for black and white males, the higher their income the more likely they are to receive an organ transplant. "Infant mortality rates are three times greater than for the rest of Quebec among the Crees and four times greater among the Inuits."

Canadians Are An Ethnic Group In Their Own Right, Professor Says
Canadians are an ethnic group in their own right, professor says. But why is itso unpopular to say that Canadians are an ethnic group in their own right?
http://www.vigile.net/00-1/canada-hidden.html

Extractions: Canada has a distinct ethnicity, in spite of a multicultural "conspiracy" to repress it, says a sociologist at McMaster University in Hamilton. "There is such a thing as an ethnic Canadian," Rhoda Howard-Hassmann writes in the current issue of Canadian Public Policy, an academic journal. "But both public policy and much academic analysis conspire to prevent Canadians from recognizing this, by insisting that their ethnic identity must be that of their ancestors." In an article titled Canadian as an Ethnic Category, Prof. Howard-Hassmann argues that Canada's long obsession with cultural diversity has scared its citizens away from admitting, and celebrating, their home-grown ethnicity. The author excludes both Quebecers and aboriginals in her analysis. But she says that English-speaking Canadians whether third-generation Irish descendants or new immigrants from India can claim to be ethnic Canadians, bound by a common language, history, lifestyle and territory. For decades, says Prof. Howard-Hassmann, Canadians have failed to acknowledge their own identity because advocates of multiculturalism either convinced them it did not exist, or made them reluctant to discuss it for fear of being branded racists.

Extractions: Toronto Press Bureau TORONTO - Though Ukrainians are one of the largest and most organized ethnic groups in Canada, they have had difficulty in sustaining their influence on the country's society as whole, because much of their activity is the "expressive" rather than "instrumental" mode. This analysis was suggested by Prof. Wsevolod Isajiw, the Robert F. Harney Professor of Ethnic, Immigration and Pluralism Studies at the University of Toronto, in a lecture at the St. Vladimir Institute on March 25, part of the institute's "Ukrainian 102" series. In his lecture, titled "The Meaning of Being Ukrainian Canadian: Ukrainian Ethnicity in Canada," Prof. Isajiw explained that the "expressive" mode of an ethnic identity concentrates on the preservation and promotion of a given culture, particularly through social contacts within an ethnic group, while the "instrumental" mode prompts individuals to organize in order to achieve political and economic goals, to claim certain rights and promote policies. The Toronto-based sociology professor said organizations such as the Ukrainian Canadian Congress and the Ukrainian World Congress should function in the instrumental mode, but nonetheless lean toward the expressive, holding conventions, ceremonies on anniversaries, presenting awards for community service and the like.
