“…Some of these studies are Canada-wide (e.g., Li 1992;Boyd 1992;Christofides and Swidinsky 1994;Baker and Benjamin 1994;Canadian Council on Social Development 2000), while others are specific to Toronto (e.g., Reitz 1990;Reitz and Sklar 1997), to Vancouver (e.g., Pendakur 2005), and to Montreal (e.g., Piché et al 2002). The amount of this earnings disadvantage varies among minority groups and by gender.…”

An interdisciplinary synthesis of Canadian research on immigrant employment success points toward key research priorities. Four determinants of immigrant employment success are widely recognized as significant: immigration policy and settlement patterns, "entry" and assimilation over time, lower value of immigrant human capital, and origins of immigrants and the possibility of discrimination. Other determinants include labour market niches, social and cultural capital, and institutional contexts. Addressing key research priorities-and distinguishing individual and contextual causes-will require new analytic strategies and sources of data. A companion paper, Part II: Understanding the Decline, applies the framework presented here to research on declining employment success for immigrants.Résumé Une synthése interdisciplinaire de la recherché au Canada sur la réussiteà lé mploi des immigrants révéle des priorités essentielles de recherche. On reconnaît généralement quatre facteurs déterminants dans la réussite à l'emploi des immigrants: les politiques en matiére d´immigration et le type de peuplement; l´autorisation de séjour et l´assimilation avec le temps; la valeur plus basse que l´on attribue au capital humain des immigrants; et l´origine des immigrants et la possibilité de la discrimination. Parmi les autres facteurs déterminants, notons les créneaux de marché du travail, le capital social et culturel, et le contexte institutionnel. Afin d'aborder les priorités essentielles de recherché, et de distinguer les causes institutionnelles des causes contextuelles, il faudra de nouvelles strategies analytiques et d'autres sources de données. Un article complémentaire, la deuxiéme partie de Understanding the Decline, appliqué le cadre conceptuel présenté ici à la recherche sur le décline de la réussite à l´emploi des immigrants.

“…Migration theories that treat immigrants as a homogeneous group are becoming less relevant in the presence of ethnically and culturally diverse populations. Strong ethnic differences are found in labor market preferences and behavior (Piche et al, 2002;Dana, 1997;Constant and Zimmermann, 2005), in wages and income (Zorlu, 2003;Neuman and Oaxaca, 2005;Mason, 2004), as well as in schooling performance (Betts and Fairlie, 2001;Smith, 2004). Research on migrant ethnicity is becoming a significant part in the growing literature on the effects of culture on economic outcomes (Guiso et al, 2006).…”

"The ethnosizer, a new measure of the intensity of a person's ethnic identity, is proposed using information on language, culture, societal interaction, history of migration, and ethnic selfidentification. A two-dimensional version classifies immigrants into four states: integration, assimilation, separation and marginalization. Results based on the German Socio-economic Panel for 2001 are as follows. Young migrants are assimilated or integrated the most. While Muslims and Christians do not integrate, both assimilate the best. Immigrants with college in the home country separate less. Having some schooling is worse than no schooling for integration and assimilation. While ex-Yugoslavs assimilate more, Greeks, Italians and Spaniards are no different than Turks." [author's abstract

“…First, practically all studies of the factors of economic integration suggest that discrimination is an important factor in the difficulties encountered by certain immigrant groups, notably the so-called "visible minorities", to use the terminology in vogue in North America (e.g. Piché, Renaud, Gingras, 2002;Richard, 2004). The second current concerns the effects of immigration on national identities.…”

The issue of migration has spawned abundant research and prompted wide-ranging theoretical debate. A selection of papers, articles and book chapters spanning several decades, many of which were first written in English, have been translated into French and brought together in a book published by INED as part of a new series devoted to the founding texts of demographic theory. These texts were chosen for their original contributions to the discipline. They represent landmarks of demographic thought, and provide new insights for analysing and understanding demographic processes. The inaugural volume of this series was edited by Victor Piché. In an introductory chapter, of which this article is an abridged and slightly revised version, he places these founding texts in their historical perspective. He highlights the diversity of approaches applied to understanding migration: countries of origin or destination; micro, meso and macro levels; individual behaviours, networks, migration policies. He also shows how these theories have evolved to take account of changing local and international migration dynamics. This article explores the development of contemporary migration theories as reflected in some twenty founding texts that have marked the field over the last fifty years. (1) Before proceeding further, two points must be made clear. First, by founding texts, we refer to the landmark articles or book chapters that have shaped the progress of migration studies. They are constantly recurring references, both in the theoretical frameworks used by scholars in their empirical studies, and in the numerous literature reviews offering critical overviews of these theories. The second point concerns the period covered, namely the decades from the 1960s up to the year 2000. Of course, by choosing this period,(1) The 20 texts brought together in the collective work published by INED are identified in the text and the bibliography by an asterisk (*).
