Labour Market Outcomes For Skilled Worker Immigrants And Non-Immigrants In Canada, Adam Mamudovski Mr.
Labour Market Outcomes For Skilled Worker Immigrants And Non-Immigrants In Canada, Adam Mamudovski Mr.
MA Research Paper
Previous research on the experiences of immigrants within foreign labour markets produce mixed findings. In this study, I utilize the February 2020 Canadian Labour Force Survey to address three questions. First, does possessing a higher education ensure that individuals will earn higher weekly wages? Second, for early to middle-age workers is there a gap in weekly wages based on educational attainment between immigrants and non-immigrants.? Third, does higher education protect against precarious work equally for immigrants and non-immigrants? Findings suggest that as an individual’s highest level of educational attainment increases, so does their weekly wage earnings, on average. Furthermore, the …

Does Higher Education Make A Difference? The Influence Of Educational Attainment On Women’S And Men’S Employment Outcomes, Katelyn Mitri
MA Research Paper
Scholars agree that precarious employment is growing across and within all occupations and industries, but little is known on the educational attainment of precarious workers. Some studies suggest that recent graduates, women, and the less educated are more likely to be employed in precarious work. Other research contends that involuntary precarious employment is rising among all groups and educational levels.

Findings suggest that women, …
Divorce And Health: Does Educational Attainment Matter?, Sara Quinn-Hogan
Divorce And Health: Does Educational Attainment Matter?, Sara Quinn-Hogan
MA Research Paper
This study examines the relationship between divorce and women’s health, looking at whether the negative effects of divorce on health remain controlling for one’s educational attainment. Using data from the 2011 cycle of the Canadian GSS, a logistic regression was conducted to examine the relationship between divorce and health controlling for educational attainment. First, it was hypothesized that divorced women are more likely to report poor health than women who are married, single, or widowed. As expected, being divorced increased the odds of poor health. The second hypothesis was that controlling for educational attainment would reduce the negative consequences of …
Pathways Over The Life Course: Patterns Of Depressive Symptoms In Adolescence And Their Potential Impact On Educational Attainment, Stephen Carneiro Fernandes
Pathways Over The Life Course: Patterns Of Depressive Symptoms In Adolescence And Their Potential Impact On Educational Attainment, Stephen Carneiro Fernandes
MA Research Paper
This analysis draws on life course sociology to investigate the association between depression in adolescence and postsecondary completion in young adulthood. Three gaps in the mental health and education literature are addressed: lack of attention to the duration and timing of depressive symptoms, the overuse of high school degree receipt and college entry as outcome variables, and the exclusion of theoretically important confounders, such as self-rated health. Using panel data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, distinct mental health pathways that are based on a 12-item revision of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale are …
