(Ottawa) Although racialized people are generally more likely than their nonracial and non-Indigenous counterparts to earn bachelor’s degrees or higher, they don’t benefit as much after graduation, Statistics Canada found.
A study of 2016 and 2021 census data reported Wednesday by the federal agency shows Canadians classified as visible minorities are less likely to find jobs with similar pay and benefits two years after graduation, despite their academic ability .
Labor earnings averaged $45,700 for racialized women and $47,800 for nonracial and non-Indigenous women, while it rose to $51,600 for racialized men and $54,100 for nonracial and non-Indigenous men.
Raised graduates also had lower rates of unionization and employer pension insurance than their nonracial, non-Indigenous peers.
In general, Statistics Canada found that many racialized populations, including Koreans, Chinese, South Asians, West Asians, Japanese, Arabs, and Filipinos, had educational levels well above the national average.
Substantial disparities were observed in the educational attainment of Hispanic and Black populations, as those who immigrated in 2001 or later were more likely than Canadians to have an overall bachelor’s degree or higher. Population groups that arrived earlier often had fewer such degrees.
