Description
ABSTRACT/RESUME The Japanese-Canadian community has witnessed a very high incidence of intermarriage among the members of the post-war generations for some rime. This research note first documents the incidence of intermarriage of members of this ethnic community across Canada using one measure of ethnicity: single ancestry rates. The result of the analysis indicates that intermarriage has indeed been occurring quite rapidly, more so than among many other ethnic groups in the country. The research also verifies that the single ancestry rate is related to the size of the group and of the salience of group membership. Thus, the smaller the relative size of the Japanese group, the higher the rate of out-group marriage for the group. If the rate continues to rise at the current rate, then what comes next? Is it possible to maintain Japanese Canadians' distinctive ethnic identity somehow?
