Title: West Indian Teachers and Nurses in Ontario, Canada: A Study of Migration Patterns
Authors: Cole, Lilian Joyce
Advisor: Blumstock, Robert E.
Department: Sociology
Keywords: Sociology;Sociology
Publication Date: 1967
Abstract: <p>In rigidly structured societies where entry into certain occupations and/or social strata are blocked, migration provides the channels of upward mobility. The study shows how West Indians of lower status origins use the professions - teaching and nursing - to achieve this mobility. The evidence also suggests a positive relationship between migration and levels of aspiration, career patterns, and anomie.</p>
