Book Description:
This book examines a research study that describes the critical interaction between ethnicity and career development in lives of Chinese-Canadian young adults. Through an empirical inquiry following a qualitative research framework, the book provides an in-depth foundation for the scarcely researched area of career development of Chinese-Canadians, engendering original new knowledge contributing to the interdisciplinary studies of vocational and career psychology and cross-cultural psychology. Drawn from several major career development theories and other pertinent literature, the research participants’ dynamic and complex processes involved in career choice and decision-making are identified and analyzed.
