Income inequality and opportunities among immigrants in BC
Fragment of a discussion from Course talk:POLI380JAN2011Owen/Survey/Immigration--Issues of Settlement
I really like the point Minjeong brought up. Some immigrants might have little or no interest in government programs so I think it's essential for us to take this into consideration in our survey. I would suggest incorporating questions like :
How necessary do you perceive government programs in aiding immigration settlement? Very necessary, somewhat necessary, somewhat unnecessary, very unnecessary, neutral/NA
How effective are government programs in promoting successful immigration settlement? Very effective, somewhat effective, somewhat ineffective, very ineffective, neutral/NA
Have you or anyone you know used government run programs on immigration settlement? Yes/No
If yes, do you think the program was effective in helping you achieve your goal? Yes/No If no, do you know of any government run programs on immigration settlement? Yes/No
(Questions not necessarily in that order)
