Seminar – Geographic mobility and intergenerational transmission of income in Quebec<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

October 2023 – If the region in which a person grows up is a strong determinant of their chances of improving their situation compared to that of their parents, then the social elevator is broken. Despite initiatives to promote equal opportunities, the reproduction of inequalities from generation to generation has worsened in Quebec in recent decades.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

During this seminar organized by CIRANO, Marie Connolly<\/a>, Xavier St-Denis<\/a> and Yacine Boujija<\/a> will present the results of the very first study which examines the influence of geographic mobility on the intergenerational transmission of income in Quebec. They follow the journey of 1.4 million young people and show that the phenomenon of social immobility affects more young people who grew up outside big cities, and particularly those who still live there in their early thirties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seminar will take place at the CIRANO (Center for Interuniversity Research and Analysis of Organizations) – Suite 1400, 1130 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest in Montreal, on Monday, October 30 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 6th 2023 – The Research Group on Human Capital (GRCH) is proud to welcome two new researchers !<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

La\u00ebtitia Ren\u00e9e<\/a><\/strong> joined the Department of Economics at the University of Montreal in 2022, holding a Ph.D. from McGill University. Her specialization is in econometrics, and she focuses on socio-economic inequalities in education as well as gender disparities in the labor market.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Xavier St-Denis<\/a><\/strong> is an assistant professor specializing in social inequalities at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), Center for Urbanization, Culture, and Society. He also serves as the director of the Group for the Study of Social Statistics (GESS). His areas of interest encompass socio-economic inequalities in education and employment, the sociology of work and organizations, and social demography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expertise of La\u00ebtitia Ren\u00e9e and Xavier St-Denis will undoubtedly be appreciated within the GRCH!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Geographic mobility and intergenerational transmission of income in Quebec”, the latest CIRANO project report from Boujija, Y. Connolly, M. and St-Denis, X.<\/h3>\n

June 2023 – In this study, the authors examine the contribution of geographic mobility to the intergenerational transmission of income in Quebec. The study uses data from Statistics Canada’s Intergenerational Income Mobility Database (BDMIR) to estimate the link between geographic mobility and socioeconomic mobility.<\/p>\n

\"\"Four cohorts of young people are followed over time: those born between 1967 and 1970, between 1972 and 1975, between 1977 and 1980 and between 1982 and 1985. This represents a sample of almost 1.4 million observations.<\/p>\n

The authors show that the deterioration of social mobility in Quebec stems mainly from two phenomena :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. a deterioration in the socioeconomic status of young people residing outside major urban centers at age 16 and having grown up in a family at the bottom of the income distribution, combined with…<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. … an improvement in the situation of young people from these same regions, but having grown up in a family at the top of the parental income distribution. This study contributes to enriching knowledge and suggests that policies supporting geographic mobility could contribute to increasing social mobility in Quebec.<\/p>\n

    June 2023 – Christ K\u00e9vin Bazie announced this week his entry into the National Research Council, which they say is the largest research and technology institution in Canada.<\/p>\n

    It is partly thanks to his presentations with the Poster-format-GRCH and his various parallel training courses in data sciences that he allowed him to access the position of data analyst with development opportunities.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI would like to thank the GRCH again, which gave me a lot and I did not fail to mention to the NRC my membership of the GRCH with its exceptional professors<\/em>\u201d \u2013 Christ K\u00e9vin Bazie<\/p>\n
