Abstract
Using the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada (LSIC) and the linked LSIC-Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB), this study finds that of all immigrant women in Canada, those from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have the lowest labour force participation rate. After controlling for various socioeconomic factors and employing logistic regressions on multiple rounds of the LSIC and LSIC-IMDB datasets, this study claims that patriarchal gender roles may have survived for MENA women even after a few years of living in Canada, resulting in relatively low labour force participation.
期刊介绍：
The Journal aims to publish the best research on international development issues in a form that is accessible to practitioners and policy-makers as well as to an academic audience. The main focus is on the social sciences - economics, politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology, as well as development studies - but we also welcome articles that blend the natural and social sciences in addressing the challenges for development. The Journal does not represent any particular school, analytical technique or methodological approach, but aims to publish high quality contributions to ideas, frameworks, policy and practice, including in transitional countries and underdeveloped areas of the Global North as well as the Global South.
