Resources for coping with economic distress: The situation of unemployed Southeast Asian refugees

This paper focuses on identifying resources and demographic variables that might influence the amount of economic distress experienced by unemployed Southeast Asian refugees. Voydanoff conceptualized economic distress as containing objective (employment instability and economic deprivation) and subjective (employment uncertainty and economic strain) dimensions. As measured in this study, unemployed refugees are not experiencing extensive economic distress except in the area of employment uncertainty. Older subjects evidence higher economic distress except on the dimension of economic strain. Economic distress is relatively low among refugees who have access to financial sources and who have family to provide social support, but human capital variables (English fluency, educational level, and Canadian job training) are not significantly related to the level of economic distress. These findings emphasize the importance of family reunification programs.Data for this study were collected for the longitudinal research project, Settlement of Indochinese Refugees in Canada: Psychological, Social, Employment and Consumer Aspects, supported by grants from Canada Health and Welfare NHRDP, Secretary of State's Multiculturalism Directorate, United Way and Woodward Foundation of Vancouver. Principal investigators for the project are Morton Beiser, M.D., Psychiatry; Phyllis J. Johnson, Ph.D., Family and Nutritional Sciences; and Richard Nann, Ph.D., Social Work; all at the University of British Columbia.We thank our research assistants Pauline Au, Susan Johnston, Esther Kwong, and Bich Pham for their contributions to the research. Klaus Schroeder provided statistical assistance.Phyllis J. Johnson received her Ph.D. from The Ohio State University. Her research interests include women and work, financial practices of different ethnic groups, and employment/unemployment.
