註釋Compared with the earnings inequality of the pre-1992 cohorts, the earnings inequality levels of the post-1992 cohorts are substantially higher in the first year after their arrival and remain higher in the next several years during which these cohorts are observed. [...] The success of immigrants can be measured not just in relation to the economic progress of non- immigrants, but also in relation to the economic progress of non-immigrants in the country from which the immigrants have come. [...] Grant (1999), on the other hand, shows that immigrants who came to Canada during the 1980s had better fortune than previous cohorts; the entry level earnings were about the same at the beginning and end of the decade, and the assimilations rates of immigrants in the 1980s were higher than the assimilation rates experienced by their predecessors. [...] Although they find little evidence of the decline in the returns to foreign education, they find a strong evidence of the decline to the foreign labour-market experience, which may account for somewhere between one quarter and one half of the overall deterioration in the entry earnings of immigrants. [...] The sample includes all male immigrants in the IMDB, who were at least 24 years old in the year they became landed immigrants and had positive earnings in the year following the last year in 5. The list, for instance, includes the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic and Czechoslovakia.
