Abstract: Little is known about the workforce utilization of Canadian men with a nursing education, who accounted for 12% of people eligible to practise nursing in 2021 (Canadian Institute for Health Information, 2022). Broad differences in the workforce utilization of people with a health education have been found between Canadian-born people and foreign-educated immigrants, and between White and racialized people (Hou & Schimmele, 2020). Using data from the 2021 Census of Population, this article compares racialized and White men aged 25 to 64 years with a nursing education in terms of their skill utilization in the workforce. The comparisons disentangle the role of racialized status from that of immigrant status.
