Canvas ceiling[2] is a metaphor used to capture a multitude of barriers affecting refugee workforce integration (cf. glass ceiling and bamboo ceiling). The notion of the ceiling is used to illuminate the limits that a particular social group encounters in their career journey. Canvas ceiling encompasses institutional-, organizational- and individual-level challenges that refugees encounter in accessing and advancing quality employment within the receiving society. Refugee workforce integration is especially difficult to facilitate due to the interplay of various factors across multiple levels (i.e. institutional, organizational and individual-level factors). That is, refugees experience interrelated effects of compound challenges that they must overcome in order to achieve adequately remunerated and commensurate employment with prospects for professional advancement. These challenges span around: immigration regulations, qualifications accreditation and education, socio-political climate, employers, self-employment related issues, support organizations' operations and management, individual demographics, language, social networks, psychological responses, and motivation of individual refugees.[2]
^ abCite error: The named reference :3 was invoked but never defined (see the help page).
Gah! The undefined :3 citation above is a duplicate of the Lee citation that already displays. (Not due to me.)
Problem
The problem here is that the sole citation (recent) is introducing this terminology, and it doesn't appear to have caught much traction anywhere else on a quick Google search. This is basically a fresh neologism supported by a single citation.
I really don't think Wikipedia needs to be in the Baskin-Robbins ceiling business, unless those "ceilings" are well established in common lingo.
Much of the content of the original Canvas ceiling page, (last revision prior to the redirect), appears to never even been included here, including numerous references. I’m not advocating anything specific, just linking to that content for the sake of future editors. Jim Grisham (talk) 15:51, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
