Note(s):
* significant at p<.1, ** p<.05, *** p<.01. In the pooled men's sample, there are 38,662 childhood immigrants and 818,094 Canadian-born individuals. In the pooled women's sample, there are 37,209 childhood immigrants and 835,271 Canadian-born individuals. The 1970s and 1980s cohort intercepts are defined relative to the 1960s cohort defined by the childhood immigrant variable. The 1970s and 1980s cohort (interaction terms between childhood immigrant indicator and year indicators) marginal effects were calculated according to Ai and Norton (2003) and Norton, Wang and Ai (2004). Parental outcomes refer to outcomes of potential parents and are group-level measures. Parental outcomes refer to outcomes of 'potential parents.' Data cells are left blank when variables are not included in the model.
