The following piece summarizes the key findings of the 2013/2014 Health Behavior in School-Aged Children report 'Growing up unequal: gender and socioeconomic differences in young people's health and well-being'.

This research examines the effects of “race” and “class” on the economic and social integration of second-generation Jamaicans (n=23) and Portuguese (n=20) in Canada. This qualitative study uses interview data to compare the role of multiculturalism in the integration of two second-generation immigrant groups. I find that the integration of these two groups differs based on their visible minority status and their social class. These results are important to develop policies for the integration of racialized native-born youth into a multiethnic society.
