This book examines the socio-economic integration of skilled, racialized immigrants in Canada. Although many arrive with advanced education and professional credentials, they often face significant barriers to securing meaningful employment and career advancement. Central to the book are three interrelated areas of inquiry: (a) deskilling and downward mobility, (b) structural inequality in the labor market, and (c) the gendered dimensions of deskilling. Drawing on primary data, the book investigates how the Canadian labor market continues to reproduce systemic inequalities despite its rhetoric of diversity and inclusion. It offers policy recommendations to advance employment equity, gender justice, and inclusion of immigrants in the workforce. This book is a vital resource for students, scholars, and practitioners and is especially well-suited for graduate courses in the humanities and social sciences, including labor studies, sociology, social work, migration studies, and gender studies.
