Stein completed his PhD in Economics at York University in July 2018, has dedicated his research to the study of labour market integration for newly arrived immigrants. His work studies the socio-structural characteristics that influence the integration of migrants. This is achieved by scrutinizing the impacts of shifts in immigration policy, as well as the role of technological advancements and social media in aiding job searches, locating settlement services, and facilitating access to remotely delivered settlement services.
Stein collaborates with the IMDB-Settlement Services Module at Statistics Canada’s Research Data Centre. Additionally, he utilizes data extracted from platforms such as X (formerly known as Twitter) and Reddit. The overarching aim of his research is to discern the effects of immigration policy modifications, enhanced access to remotely delivered settlement services, and the online search for job information on the employment and earnings outcomes of newcomers.
