In Canada, wealthiest 1% earns 10 times more than the social average earnings. One of the most interesting thing is that they are mostly married white male. However, the componets of wealth people begins to change with the increasing number of immigrants.
As a historical leftover problem, the gap between the poor and the wealth has undergone a even badly expansion in both developed countries and developing countries recent years. In my opinion, there are two main reason: the educational degree and the ethusiasm in pursuing success.
According to the research, immigrants who graduate with higher educational degree are far more probably to earn the majority of social wealth. Indeed, higher education background can provide them with comprehensive knowledge and practical experience in the area that they are working in. However, Other than the knowledge, high moral standard that is normally come with their degree can help them get in a stable common-law relationships, which is an basic requirement of achieving success.
More importantly, the ethusiam in working place is the other reason. Compared to the local citizens, the new type of citizens—immigrant, tend to be more active in getting in the wealthiest population, which has already directly increase the diversity of wealthiest population. The truth that the desire of getting higher social standard are far more pressing in immigrants. Thereafter, With a higher education degree and much more enthusiastic in workplace, they could easily earn more money than median population.
In conclusion, in order to eliminate the gap between the poor and the wealthiest, government should put more effort in improving the educational level as well as sitmulating the ethusiastic for citizens. More importantly, they should also take more advantages of immigrant to reach a even better degree in economy.
