Stein Monteiro
Stein Monteiro is the Lead Research Associate in the Immigration Knowledge Area for The Conference Board of Canada. In this role, Stein assists in providing insights on Canadian immigration policy issues and the integration outcomes of newcomers. From fall 2019 to spring 2024, he held the position of Senior Research Associate with CERC Migration.
Stein鈥檚 research focuses on issues of assimilation and integration among new immigrant groups. His research aims to identify causal relationships between host or sending country socio-structural characteristics on the potential migrant's decision to migrate and assimilate into the host country environment.
Stein completed his PhD program at York University in July 2018. As a part of his dissertation, Stein explored themes related to family dynamics and its influence on migration decisions on individuals within an extended family context, in addition to the role of co-ethnic networks in affecting assimilation rates among new immigrant groups in Canada.
Stein spent some years working in higher education administration; first with the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training, and then recently with Humber College. His professional experience has provided him with modern data science skills to analyze large administrative and survey data sets. Stein also recently provided research support for a project at the International Growth Center (London School of Economics) to identify the impact of road building in rural areas of Ethiopia on village-level crop yields and income.
Working with linked administrative and survey data at Statistics Canada鈥檚 Research Data Centre, he aims to identify how the properties of typical social networks (i.e. network structure, interconnectedness, size and density) play a role in the process of integration among new immigrant groups.
