In immigration research, a key concern is how immigrants
are incorporated into the host society. The time-frame for
incorporation frequently extends beyond the first generation
of arrivals, bringing into play the experiences of immigrant
offspring — who now are nearly 17 percent, or one in six,
of the Canadian population age 15 and older. As part of a
SSHRC research award, my research agenda for these immigrant
offspring covers three domains of incorporation: socioeconomic
integration, acculturation, and intermarriage. Socioeconomic
integration encompasses three clusters of indicators: the
educational and labour market achievements of immigrant offspring,
poverty, and home ownership. Indicators of acculturation for
immigrant offspring are: language knowledge, particularly
retention of parental language(s); and living arrangements,
including multi generational co-residency and young adult-parental
co-residency. The last domain assesses the extent, and types,
of intermarriage entered into by immigrant offspring. Research
on these three domains includes comparisons between immigrant
offspring and the first and third-plus generations, and it
focuses on differences by gender, race, and ethnic or country
of origin.
