- Abstract
Using the 1991 Census Public Use Sample, this study examines the ethnic variations in education, occupation, and income and the connections between these dimensions of socioeconomic status. Some European groups have attained income parity even if their educational levels are much lower than the average of the total population. Though visible minorities tend to have a higher level of education, most of them are still under-represented in high status occupations and have incomes lower than what their educational and occupational achievements would merit. Blacks and South Asians suffer the most in income inequality. This study also reveals that various minority groups face different problems in theft integration into Canadian society.
