Stratification et classes sociales à Montréal, 1991-2011
|
| Abstract |
The author points out that the social structure of the city of Montreal is typical of advanced modernity. He analyzes the macro-social mutation that has transformed the city, evident in the growth of the workforce at the higher echelons of the social hierarchy who have become more diversified. He notes that the size of the working class has shrunk and new classes have increased their numbers, especially among technicians and professionals. Women in employment are as numerous as men and they are no longer concentrated in "women's" sectors. They have increased their presence in all levels, except for senior executives where they are still underrepresented. The author further notes that the linguistic divide (English-French) that characterized Montreal's social stratification in the past has disappeared, but the city has some traces of it since Anglophones are even more overrepresented among senior executives. He argues that this old division has given way to a new form of social differentiation according to ethnicity. Finally, he shows that the social stratification of Quebec City is very similar to that of Montreal, these two cities being different from the rest of Quebec society.
