Intergenerational Change in Quebec’s English-speaking Communities

The Italian, Filipino, Greek, and Polish mother tongue groups show a high tendency to use English as their home language.

Persons with Creole, Arabic and Spanish are more likely to use French as their home language.

Speakers of a number of other languages (Chinese, Romanian, Vietnames, Russian, Persian, etc.) show strong tendencies to use their mother tongue as the home language.

Language concepts are Mother Tongue which refers to the first language learned at home in childhood and still understood by the individual at the time of the census and Home Languages which are the languages used most often or regularly at home. Mother tongue counts include only those who reported a given language as their sole mother tongue. Multiple responses for home languages have been distributed equally among declared languages.

Among Anglophones over the age of 15 in Quebec, 8.8% were unemployed in 2006.

This level is much higher than that of the Francophone population in Quebec (mmi=1.33) and is higher than the levels reported by other Official-Language Minority Communities across the country (rgi-all olmc=1.13).

For the younger half of the working age population (those aged 25-44), we find that the level is much higher than that of the Francophone population in this age group (mmi=1.39).

For the older half of the working age population (those aged 45-64), the level is much higher than that of the Francophones in this age group (mmi=1.27).

Among Anglophones over the age of 15 in Quebec, 35.4% are not in the labour force.

This level is fairly similar to that of the Francophone population in Quebec (mmi=1.02) and is fairly similar to the levels reported by other Official-Language Minority Communities across the country (rgi-all olmc=1.00).

For the younger half of the working age population (those aged 25-44), we find that the level is much higher than that of the Francophone population in this age group (mmi=1.42).

For the older half of the working age population (those aged 45-64), the level is lower than that of the Francophones in this age group (mmi=0.91).

Income and Poverty

16


Across generations, it can be seen that older Anglophones (aged 65 and over) showed a lower tendency to have low incomes than do Quebec Francophones, other OLMCs in Canada or even the Canadian population as a whole.

For the younger generations, this trend does not persist and English speakers aged 25-44 and more likely to report low income than are the other groups.

Across generations, it can be seen that older Anglophones (aged 65 and over) showed a higher tendency to have higher incomes than do Quebec Francophones, other OLMCs in Canada or even the Canadian population as a whole.

For the younger generations, this trend does not persist and English speakers aged 25-44 and 45-64 are much less likely to report high income than are the other gruoups.
