This document consists of both English and French versions of four reports which highlight the self-employment status of various ethnocultural groups in Canada. The first report introduces the publication by discussing the role of the small business sector and self-employment in Canada's economy as a whole. The importance of the ethnic groups to the economy is confirmed and statistics are presented demonstrating sex, immigrant status, regional, and ethnic differences in self-employment. The second report "British, French, and Other Groups in Selected Industries" focuses on seven industrial categories (mining, manufacturing, construction, transportation, trade, finance, and services). Self-employed people working in the seven categories are compared and contrasted for Canada as a whole and for the province of Ontario and the city of Toronto. The third report "Visible Minorities in Selected Industries" highlights the same geographical regions and uses eight industrial classifications (public administration added to the earlier seven). It examines the self-employment of persons in ethnic categories which are more "visible" as minorities, they are: (1) Blacks; (2) Far East Asians; (3) Indo-Pakistanis; (4) Pacific Islanders; (5) South East Asians; (6) West Asians and Arabs; and (7) Latin Americans. The fourth report "German, Italian, Jewish, Polish, Ukrainian, and Dutch Groups in Selected Industries," uses the same geographic breakdowns and the same eight industrial categories to highlight the self-employment status of groups with ethnic origins in Europe. The data for all of these reports were culled from census data with special attention to the question, "To which ethnic or cultural group did you or your ancestors belong on first coming to this continent?"
