Innovation Hub (Room 316) 

Join STU/UNB University Women's Centre for a conversation with Dr. Fariba Solati about “Labour force participation of immigrant women in Canada: Focus on immigrants from the Middle East & North Africa.” 

Immigrant women in Canada who migrated from the Middle East & North Africa have the lowest labour force participation rate compared with those from other regions and this continues for several years after arrival. Although their labour force participation rate increases considerably over time, it remains lower than immigrants from other regions, even after 15 years. This study will examine how home countries' gender roles seem to survive even years after migration.
