ABSTRACT Analysing data from the 2006 Canadian census, the paper identifies various social characteristics that influence Bangladeshi immigrants’ employment status in Toronto, particularly their propensity to be self-employed and outside the paid labour force rather than paid employees. The analysis contributes to understanding why racialised immigrants take different paths to participating in the Canadian labour market. The results of regression analysis suggest that women are more likely to be out of the paid labour force and less likely to be self-employed or paid employees than their male counterparts. Young Bangladeshis with a university degree are least likely to withdraw from the paid labour force. Older Bangladeshis and those with longer length of residence in Canada are more likely to be self-employed. The likelihood of being out of the paid labour force increases as Bangladeshi immigrants age, and with less education and decreases for those with longer residence in Canada.

考察影响种族移民就业状况的因素：加拿大多伦多孟加拉移民研究

摘要 本文通过分析 2006 年加拿大人口普查的数据，确定了影响孟加拉国移民在多伦多就业状况的各种社会特征，特别是他们自雇和脱离有偿劳动力而非有偿雇员的倾向。该分析有助于理解为什么种族移民采取不同的途径来参与加拿大劳动力市场。回归分析的结果表明，与男性相比，女性更有可能脱离有偿劳动力，而更不可能成为自雇人士或有偿雇员。拥有大学学位的年轻孟加拉国人最不可能退出有偿劳动力。年长的孟加拉国人和在加拿大居住时间较长的人更有可能成为自雇人士。
