This article examines the wage gap in Canada, particularly in the province of Quebec, between native-born workers and immigrant workers, and specifically economic immigrants, the so-called skilled worker category. It sets out to explain this ever-increasing wage gap. We note an evolution in the proportion of immigrants over the last two decades, but also an increasing deterioration of their economic situation, compared to that of native-born workers. After examining the statistical portrait of immigrant participation in the labour market, we highlight the impact of discrimination in explaining the wage gap between immigrant workers and native-born workers, without forgetting the other causes of this gap. The level of education of economic immigrants, which is acknowledged to be higher than that of the general population, does not explain the lower economic performance on the labour market. This work therefore reveals the factors that explain the wage gap between immigrant and native-born workers. It also shows that the notion of immigrants is a heterogeneous block within which certain groups experience particular realities, notably visible minorities and women.

Given young people's high exposure to online violence, this study aims to deepen the understanding of online hate speech by examining individual definitions and experiences while taking personal characteristics into account. Twenty-four Belgians aged 15 to 25, who have encountered at least one instance of online hate speech and who vary in terms of gender, sexual orientation, cultural background, and self-reported status, were interviewed using qualitative methods. All respondents identified themselves at a minimum as witnesses of online hate speech (n=23) and additionally as victims (n=13), perpetrator (n=1), or both perpetrators and victims (n=2). Thematic analysis revealed two main and mutually exclusive categories based on the definitions provided and experiences reported: ‘hate-related content’ and ‘aggressive content,’ along with specificities linked to individual characteristics. These findings are discussed within the framework of a continuum of online hate speech, beginning with micro-aggressions. Conceptual, legal, and digital moderation implications are also proposed.
