A Comparative Study of Minority Development

When examining ethnic minorities' educational attainments in urban China and Canada, they outperform or are on par with the non-minority population. However, when analyzing high-wage, education-intensive occupations, this cohort are not as prevalent as the non-minority population. What accounts for this discrepancy?How far does ethnicity affect one's occupational opportunities? What does this tangibly mean with respect to the management of urban ethnic differences? And, what steps can we take to improve this situation? Drawing upon the latest statistics and detailed interviews, this book examines the experiences of ethnic minorities from schooling to the job search, hiring, and promotion processes.

Reza Hasmath is Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Toronto. His current research looks at ethnic minorities’ opportunities in the labour market. He is the author of The Ethnic Penalty: Migration, Networks and Labour Markets and the forthcoming monograph, Ethnicity in Contemporary Urban China; and has edited the collection, Multiculturalism: The Great Marketing Strategy? An International Perspective and co-edited, China in an Era of Transition: Understanding Contemporary State and Society Actors.
