SEX COMPOSITION OF IMMIGRANT POPULATION 71 
already in the country or are merely getting established before bringing their wives and 
families to the new land, the case is entirely different. 
With this consideration in mind attention is drawn to a few of the figures in Tables 
32, 33 and 34. Of all immigrants, the Chinese have the largest surplus of males; the inas- 
similability of this stock has dictated legal expedients which have made this inevitable; but 
it does not alter the fact that immigration which consists of almost 30 times as many males 
ag females involves serious social risks. The Bulgarians, though few in number, had over 
seven times as many male as female immigrants in Canada in 1921; the Greeks showed a 
surplus of nearly 400 p.c. There were six other cases where over twice as many males as 
females have come to this country. The countries from which these immigrants come rank 
as follows:—

At the other extreme there are the few West Indian born immigrants with a consider- 
able surplus of females and the immigrants from Newfoundland and Iceland, where the 
female surplus is very slight. Immigration from the United States, the British Isles, the 
British Possessions, France and Hungary all show an excess of males less than the average 
for all immigrants, In this group of countries settlers from the United States show the 
smallest surplus and settlers from Hungary the largest. It is curious to note that the Welsh, 
with 33 p.c. more male immigrants than females, differ so radically in sex distribution from 
the other stocks of British origin.
