Quebec Anglophones Who Stayed…And Those Who Left. A Comparison of Key Characteristics, 1971-2001
|
| Abstract |
Quebec’s English-speaking community, once a strong, vital part of the province’s human landscape, has declined considerably since the 1970s. Studies show that the phenomenon was important enough to be dubbed an exodus. The author focuses on the significant changes of the Anglophone population’s mobility since 1971 and will attempt to find the common characteristics of those “leavers”. This, the author hopes, will provide some insight on the measures to be taken in order to replenish this dwindling community. By looking at the socio-economic profiles of the “leavers” and “stayers”, as well as their education level, and also by examining these same characteristics in Quebec’s Anglophone immigrants, the author seeks to give a better idea of Quebec’s English-speaking community’s present situation, highlighting its strengths and deficiencies in order to better understand the alarming out-migration this community has known.
