This project is the brainchild of Professor Lisa Kaida (PI) and Professor Monica Boyd (Co-PI).
Two research objectives are: 1. To track temporal trends in occupational segregation with respect to gender, race, and migrant status since the early 1990s; 2. To provide new insights into contemporary occupational segregation patterns by gender, race, and migrant status taking into account educational inequalities and migrant entry class.
The project adopts an intercategorical approach to study intersections of disadvantages associated with gender, race, and migrant status. Data are taken from the 1991-2016 Census of Canada with extensions to 2021.
Bridging the University of Toronto (Monica Boyd, Department of Sociology) and McMaster University (Lisa Kaida, Department of Sociology), this project received SSHRC funding in summer 2020.
