1. A positive gap means that Canadian born individuals have a
higher value for that variable than Immigrants and a negative gap
means the opposite. For variables where higher
values mean better outcomes (for example, the "% of the
population with a job"), a positive gap means Immigrant performance
is not as good as Canadian born performance. For
variables where higher values mean worse outcomes (for example,
the "% of the labour force who are unemployed"), a positive gap
means Immigrant performance is better than
Canadian born performance. The greater the number, the greater
the inequality between the two groups. For variables that measure a
societal good, such as education achievements
or a societal bad such as unemployment rates, the goal is to
minimize the gap between the two groups.
