Cumulative earnings of Black, Chinese, South Asian and White individuals born in Canada by Aneta Bonikowska, René Morissette, Grant Schellenberg

“…The study shows that the higher cumulative earnings of Chinese (+20%) and South Asian (+15%) men (relative to White men) can be mostly or entirely accounted for by their higher education levels and their overrepresentation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields of study. Conversely, the lower cumulative earnings of Black men (relative to White men) cannot be accounted for by differences in sociodemographic characteristics, human capital, job characteristics or work histories. …”
