Title |
Low Francophone Male Social Mobility in Quebec Before 1976: Cultural Explanations Revisited
|
Abstract |
Tests three explanations why French-speaking Quebecers appeared to have lower social mobility than English-speaking Quebecers prior to 1976. The three explanations were: francophones were structurally excluded from capital; their culture was less compatible with mobility; and English Canadians discriminated against French Canadians on the basis of cognitive style. The author compares the mobility rates of Francophones in Sherbrooke, Quebec, with those of English Canadians in London, Ontario. The author concludes that the lack of French Quebec mobility is due to lower educational achievement, and discrimination may explain in part why Francophones were less mobile.
