title: Caribbean immigrants in Britain and Canada:  socio-demographic aspects.
abstract: This is an overview of demographic characteristics of migrants from the Caribbean to Great Britain and Canada, based on official data. "In 1981 there were approximately 295,000 Caribbean born persons living in Britain and 211,000 in Canada.  In addition there was a 'second generation' of about 250,000 in Britain and 50,000 in Canada.  Immigration from the Caribbean reached its peak in Britain in 1961 and in 1974 for Canada.  The latter country was more selective in terms of education and includes a francophone group from Haiti.  There is substantial residential segregation in the inner cities of London and Birmingham, but a greater degree of dispersion within Montreal and Toronto.  There are growing problems of unemployment among Black youths, in both countries." (SUMMARY IN FRE)
