Discrimination and Chinese fertility in Canada
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to examine Chinese fertility in Canada through a comparison of Chinese-Canadians and British-Canadians who represented the majority group. The objective was to find indicators to measure degrees of insecurities and discrimination and their impact on the fertility rates of Chinese born in Canada. Results indicate that class fertility differentials between the British-Canadians and Chinese-Canadians are caused largely by discrimination variations across social classes in Canada.

It was shown that although Kuwaiti students were more depressed than the American students, they reported less suicidal preoccupation.
