Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study uutilizes an empirical approach, similar to the large number of studies examining immigrant earnings in the wage sector, to study self-employment propensities of immigrants arriving in Canada. The goals of the paper are to establish the key features of the self-employment experiences of immigrants and to shed light on the impacts of available immigration policy mechanisms on these outcomes. I find that the assimilation process involves a transition from wage employment to self-employment and that this process is not stable over time. The changes in the assimilation process coincide with policy developments over the period examined (roughly 1956-1996) and suggest that these policy changes may have resulted in higher self-employment propensities upon entry, while at the same time, a reduction in the amount of assimilation and the time frame over which assimilation occurred. However, over the long-run (measured in years since migration) it appears that there was no appreciable effect of these policies.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
