Description

This book presents a comparative analysis of immigration and immigrants in Canada and the United States. Analysis of immigrants refers to a comparative study of recent immigrant arrivals and the foreign-born in both Canada and the United States using an applied demographic framework. An applied demographic framework differs from a conventional demographic analysis by highlighting practical and policy issues related to three specific topics: size and change in a population; the demographic, social, economic, and cultural composition of the population; and the geographic distribution of the population.

The authors examine the ways in which immigration challenges are addressed and the effects that they have on the social and economic landscape of each country. By comparing the two countries side by side, it makes clearer how policy choices are made and their possible outcomes. A comparison of the two countries also contributes important knowledge on the role of immigration policies on immigration and immigrant integration.

By presenting temporal and comparative analysis, the research advances scholarly knowledge on immigration policies and  policy analysis in a broad range of social science fields, including demography, sociology, public policy, political science, and regional science.
