Comparing Youth Migration in the United States: Evidence from the NLSY79 and NLSY97 Presented: Warsaw, Poland, European Survey Research Association, June-July 2009. Also: http://surveymethodology.eu/conferences/warsaw-2009/presentation/353/ Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: European Survey Reseach Association (ESRA) Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Employment, Youth; Life Course; Marital Status; Migration Patterns; Mobility Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Americans are known for their highly mobility, as during the 1990s, the "average" person in the United States moved about eleven times throughout the course of his life. Youths especially have high mobility rates. Previous research demonstrates that period and cohort effects are important to address with regard to explaining migration across individuals and across time. This research compares youth migration experience (ages 16 to 26 years) in the U.S. using two national longitudinal surveys, NLSY79 and NLSY97, including ten waves of data for each cohort. First, migration rates of youths across these two groups are compared. Next, the factors influencing migration are examined for both age groups across three types of migration: primary, onward and return. We emphasize comparison of what motivates migration across the groups, focusing on a core set of explanatory factors. We also examine key changes occurring in youths' life course: changes in marital status, educational attainment and employment as key dimensions of similarity or difference across the two time periods. Features of the longitudinal analysis are highlighted, especially with regard to using person-year periods and the question of repeated observations across individuals. We discuss key findings of the research as pertain to future studies of youth migration. |

Comparing Migration Consequences Across Cohorts Presented: New Orleans, LA, Population Association of America, April 2008. Also: http://paa2008.princeton.edu/abstractViewer.aspx?submissionId=81707 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Economics of Minorities; Economics, Demographic; Economics, Regional; Labor Economics; Life Course; Migration Patterns Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Previous research demonstrates that migration patterns differ across groups. Migration can also be shaped by broader processes of social change such as political and economic shifts, which take place at various levels of interaction, including local, national, and, in some instances, global scales. This research compares migration patterns across two cohorts using NLSY data (NLSY79 and NLSY97) in order to compare patterns of migration across these two cohorts and examine how they differ on various dimensions, including individual characteristics, migration types, and with regard to key life transitions such as entry into the labor market. Of key interest is the extent to which community level attributes and/or broader social forces influence patterns of migration in conjunction with various individual-level processes noted to be influential in previous research. Preliminary results show some group-based differences, though further exploration is required. Later analyses will integrate community characteristics as another potential source of variation. |
