Title
Unilingues ou bilingues? Les Montréalais sur le marché du travail en 1901
Abstract
Using a sample of records from the 1901 census, the author examines the economic returns to bilingualism for French and English mother tongue men in Montreal at the turn of the twentieth century. She concludes that both Anglophones and Francophones gained from bilingualism, and the returns to bilingualism for both groups appear to have been somewhat higher than for men in the 1960s. In 1901, a bilingual, literate Francophone, on average, earned about the same amount as a unilingual Roman Catholic Anglophone. Bilingual Protestant Anglophones had the highest average earnings.
