Please find support for the following statements: 1) "Quantitative research methods lack the depth, insight, and richness that can be achieved by qualitative methods". 2) "Many new immigrants in Canada struggle with two jobs" (trying to seek economic security; if you can find a citation on Chinese-Canadian immigrants, even better). 3)"Striving to improve one's lifestyle is a motivating factor for immigrating to a new country" (e.g. better job opportunities, social conditions, education for kids). Please use reputable sources such as Statistics Canada, Citizen & Immigration Canada, academic journals/webpages. |

I am not good at finding things on the internet, but we can apply logic to the hypothesis you have asked about. I think 1 is false except a combination of the two methods is much superior to either at the exclusion of the other. Is one mm big, or far? It depends on the subject. Nanotechnology or astronomy? A specific example is often far more informative than many pages of generalities which are qualitative. 2 If you were an employer would you want to try to train a recent immigrant, who understood little English and had different costoms and habits than your other employees? Likely you will hire the imigrant only to do work that requires little training and then only if the imigrant will work for minimum wage or less. Since many immigrants are low paid, it follows that some will work two jobs to try to stay above the poverty level. Two jobs is typically a disadvantage to the employer, as it means the employee will rarely be available to work a different shift or overtime, and other conflicts of interest may occur. 3 This is intuitively obvious. Imigrants may have other reasons for coming to Canada, but this is likely strong motivation for at least 1/2 of the immigrants. The extensive Socialim is also a motivation as they know they can subsist even if they fail. but I believe most immigrants come with strong intentions of success even if it is difficult. Neil |
