It's not great, but it could be worse! Immigrant job quality in Canada through the lens of relative deprivation theory
研究发现，加拿大移民在主观上认为工作质量与本地人相当甚至更好，但客观上在工资、福利、培训等方面更差，并用相对剥夺理论解释这一矛盾。
Abstract We explore whether immigrants are over(under)represented in poor‐quality employment. We find that, on subjective dimensions, immigrants actually have equal and sometimes superior quality jobs relative to native‐born workers. Immigrant workers perceive higher levels of managerial support and greater ability to complete work during scheduled time. However, on more objective dimensions, immigrants' jobs are poorer than those of their Canadian‐born counterparts, specifically in terms of less access to collective agreement coverage, training, various extended benefits, as well as lower wages and higher incidence of self‐employment. We attempt to reconcile the differences in perceptions of job quality vs. objective outcomes by drawing on relative deprivation theory.
