Second there has been a remarkable transformation in the nature of work: Canada's economy has changed from relying on resource extraction to an emphasis on manufacturing, and presently is emerging as post-industrial and knowledge-based. Pendakur combines an analysis of parliamentary debates on immigration issues with an evaluation of the regulatory and policy changes that resulted from these discussions and an analysis of how the work of immigrants changed over a five-decade. He then provides both a political and quantitative analysis by looking at issues that affect not only immigrants but minorities born in Canada in order to assess the degree to which labour market discrimination exists and whether employment equity programs are needed. 606 $aForeign workers$zCanada 606 $aImmigrants$zCanada$xEconomic conditions 607 $aCanada$xEmigration and immigration$xGovernment policy 615 0$aForeign workers 615 0$aImmigrants$xEconomic conditions. 676 $a331.6/2/0971 700 $aPendakur$b Ravi$01485878 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783796703321 996 $aImmigrants and the labour force$93705164 997 $aUNINA
