Is Household Extension Beneficial or Harmful for Immigrant-Origin Youth? Evidence from the NLSY97 Presented: New York NY, American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, August 2013 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Behavior, Antisocial; Family Structure; Household Composition; Household Structure; Immigrants; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Extended family households have been on the rise in the U.S., particularly among immigrant families. The presence of additional adults in the household alters the environment in which children grow up and, therefore, it is important to determine how child outcomes are affected. This analysis examines behavioral outcomes for immigrant-origin youth who lived in extended family households using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. Preliminary findings suggest that first-generation immigrant youth are less likely to engage in deviant behaviors compared to second-generation and third-generation youth. In addition, while household extension is associated with higher probabilities of engaging in substance use behaviors, the effect of household extension does not vary by nativity status. |
