Abstract

On a bien décrit la dégradation des gains des immigrants au Canada en début d'emploi au cours des trois dernières décennies. La présente étude nous renseigne en outre sur les changements de situation des immigrants en portant sur l'inégalité et l'instabilité de leurs gains. L'analyse s'appuie sur un modèle économétrique polyvalent qui décompose l'inégalité du revenu du travail en éléments à court terme et à long terme. L'auteur non seulement dresse le profil d'inégalité et d'instabilité des diverses cohortes d'arrivée, mais dégage aussi les facteurs sous-jacents d'inégalité, dont la scolarisation à l'étranger, le lieu de naissance et la capacité de parler français ou anglais.
