Census Data: Canadians Face

census data: For example, Black Canadians make significantly less money than non-racialized Canadians regardless of how long their families have lived in Canada, according to CTV. First-generation Black Canadians make an average income of nearly 37,000, compared to an average income of 50,000 for new immigrants who are not members of a visible minority. The most recent census data from 2016 shows that Black Canadians face far steeper economic challenges than white Canadians and other racial groups. That wage gap doesn't go away over time. Those numbers are troubling but not surprising, says Andrea A. Davis, chair of York University's department of humanities and co-ordinator of the university's Black Canadian Studies Certificate. Third-generation Black Canadians make an average income of 32,000, compared with 48,000 for Canadians who aren't a visible minority a demographic that, due to the way census data is collected, includes Indigenous Canadians, who also experience income disparity.
