Poverty and Migration: Synthesis of Macrolevel and Microlevel Perspectives of Migration Ph.D. Dissertation, Utah State University, 1987. DAI-A 49/09, p. 2818, March 1989 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Behavior; Geographical Variation; Migration; Mobility; Poverty This study assesses effects of contextual and personal characteristics on the migration propensities of individuals, with primary focus on several measurements of individual poverty status and the poverty level of the residential areas. The restricted opportunity perspective on poverty, the human capital perspective and the microeconomic perspective on migration, are the major frameworks guiding the study. Logistic regression analysis of data from the NLSY and from the 1983 County and City Data Book is employed to investigate differences in the migration behavior between the poor and nonpoor, and significant main and interactive effects of the macrolevel and microlevel factors on the migration behavior of American youth. The major findings are: (1) youth living in areas with less employment opportunities are more migratory; (2) poor youth are less migratory than the nonpoor; and (3) the poor living in areas with less employment opportunities are least migratory. These findings are consistent when migration is classified into primary and repeat migration, but are not consistent across the ethnic groups. Findings point to the importance of: (1) integrating macrolevel and microlevel perspectives for better understanding of migration behavior of individuals; (2) comparing the migration behavior of the poor with the nonpoor; and (3) controlling ethnic group status in the migration study.

Racial Differences among Young Men in the Selection of Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Destinations Rural Sociology 51,2 (Summer 1986): 222-228 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Rural Sociological Society Keyword(s): Migration; Racial Differences; Rural Sociology; Rural/Urban Migration Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study is an empirical examination of the extent to which racial differences exist in young men's selection of metropolitan and nonmetropolitan destinations, after adjusting for compositional differences. The tendency of previous studies to focus on the migration of a single racial group left a gap in systematic comparisons across race. Results here, based on the Young Men cohort of the NLS, indicate that young black males are much less likely than young white males to select nonmetropolitan destinations. Migration thus increases racial segregation. The findings are discussed in both demographic and socioeconomic contexts. |
