摘要

有技能、受过良好教育的非洲移民带着更多机会和更好生活的愿望来到加拿大,但往往最终就业选择很少,工作不稳定。本文的目的是调查非洲移民试图在加拿大找到合适的,待遇优厚的工作的经验。更具体地说,本文揭示了来自信息行为领域的长期信息贫困框架如何不足以理解交叉和更广泛的社会文化力量对非洲移民获取信息和就业不稳定性的影响。设计/方法/方法通过对大温哥华地区25名非洲移民的半结构化访谈收集数据。利用Britz的信息贫困框架,采用定性内容分析探讨了参与者的就业信息寻求和信息可用性感知。参与者在寻找与就业相关的信息时遇到了一系列困难,包括内容、过程和身份相关的挑战,这与Britz的框架一致。然而,该框架并没有完全包含他们的信息寻求经验。相关信息的获取受限影响了参与者及时做出职业决策的能力,并且有证据表明,信息提供与参与者多重身份之间的不匹配导致了信息不平等。原创性/价值本研究采用Britz的信息贫困方法,并提供了参与者对信息寻求挑战的反应图。参与者不属于布里兹所定义的信息贫乏的类别。研究结果表明,如果考虑到信息寻求者的不同背景,并将文化维度纳入对信息获取、信息贫困和信息寻求技术使用的理解,那么关于信息贫困的论述将会受益。

Questioning the role of information poverty in immigrant employment acquisition: empirical evidence from African immigrants in Canada
PurposeSkilled, well-educated African immigrants arrive in Canada with aspirations for more opportunities and a better life, but too often end up with few employment options and precarious jobs. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the experiences of African immigrants attempting to locate suitable, well-compensated employment in Canada. More specifically, this paper reveals how long-standing information poverty frameworks from the field of information behavior are inadequate for understanding intersectional and broader socio-cultural forces influence access to information and employment precarity among African immigrants.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through semi-structured interviews with twenty-five African immigrants in Metro Vancouver. Qualitative content analysis was used to explore participants' employment information seeking and perceptions of information availability using Britz's information poverty framework.FindingsParticipants encountered a range of difficulties when seeking information related to employment, including content, process and identity-related challenges, in alignment with Britz's framework. However, the framework did not fully encompass their information seeking experiences. Limited access to relevant information impacted participants' ability to make timely career decisions, and there was evidence of information inequity resulting from a mismatch between information provision and participants' multifaceted identities.Originality/valueThis research applied Britz's information poverty approaches and provided a map of participants' responses to information seeking challenges. Participants did not fit into the category of information poor as defined by Britz. The findings suggest that the discourse on information poverty would benefit from considerations of the diverse backgrounds of information seekers and the incorporation of cultural dimensions to understandings of information access, information poverty and technology use for information seeking.
