This chapter critically examines the phenomenon of deskilling within the context of neoliberal capitalism, revisiting and expanding upon Braverman’s labour process theory to reflect current economic and social dynamics. It analyses how managerial strategies aimed at maximizing efficiency—such as scientific management and technological automation—have contributed to the routinization and devaluation of skilled labour. In this context, deskilling functions as a mechanism of managerial control that reduces worker autonomy, job security, and remuneration. This chapter asserts that the occupational downgrading of skilled immigrants constitutes a systemic characteristic of the neoliberal economic framework, which prioritizes cost-efficiency at the expense of human dignity. Focusing on the Canadian labour market, this chapter highlights how highly educated, skilled immigrants—especially those who are racialized and gendered—are routinely excluded from employment opportunities that match their qualifications. Despite their expertise, many are relegated to low-wage, insecure work due to the devaluation of foreign credentials, licensing barriers, and systemic discrimination. Racialized immigrant women face heightened vulnerability, frequently occupying the most precarious segments of the labour market. This chapter challenges conventional deskilling theories for failing to account for how race, gender, and citizenship intersect to shape labour market experiences and inequalities. It contends that neoliberal labour policies exacerbate social and economic inequalities while simultaneously undermining workers’ professional identities, psychological well-being, and familial stability.
