abstract: 'Examining the historical antecedents of racialized immigrant women are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
important precursors to understanding the challenges they face in access
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to quality and timely healthcare in Canada. Changes to immigration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies, structural and systemic racial discrimination perpetuate the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
feminization of migration in Canada, create structural barriers in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour market integration, increase social exclusion and ultimately
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
create unequal access to healthcare services. Despite their high levels
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of education, racialized immigrant women in Canada are over-represented
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in low-paid, low-skill precarious jobs. They also face powerful
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
structural barriers to decent professional employment due to the lack of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
acceptance of foreign educational and licencing credentials. Ultimately,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these challenges negatively impact how they interact with healthcare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
services. Utilizing an intersectional and socio-ecology framework, this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
review aims to highlight the historical antecedents of racialized
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
immigrant women in access to healthcare services in Canada and examine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the challenges racialized immigrant women face in access to healthcare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
services in Canada. Findings from this review can be used to open
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dialogues on possible changes to immigration and social policies in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Canada, including changes to labour market practices, and initiatives to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
address structural and systemic barriers, to enable racialized immigrant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women overcome the challenges they face in accessing quality healthcare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
services in a timely manner.'
