  • Title: [Immigration and labor: Australia and Canada compared].
    Author: Iacovetta F, Quinlan M.
    Journal: Estud Migr Latinoam; 1995 Aug; 10(30):277-98. PubMed ID: 12291896.
    Abstract:
    "Australia and Canada share...a common colonial history and many similarities in geography, economy, demography, etc., as well as a substantial anti-non anglo-celtic immigrant tradition, in spite of their being immigration countries. Those similarities and differences are analyzed here, as far as labor migration and relationships between immigrant and local labor are concerned. The arrival of European labor first, Asian later, was perceived similarly by both Australia and Canada, combining racial prejudice and unions' hostility towards contract labor migration as well as towards assisted migration. The evolution of those difficult relations through the 19th and 20th centuries is analyzed here." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
