1.	Youth Migration in Deindustrializing Regions of the United States Presented: Cambridge, UK, Regional Science Association Twenty-Ninth European Congress, August 1989 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Regional Science Association International Keyword(s): Geographical Variation; Migration; Mobility, Labor Market; Unemployment; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Because youth are the most mobile cohort in the U.S., theories about the causes of migration are best tested upon this subgroup. The focus of this research is to analyze the causes of out-migration and return migration of youth in a region of the U.S. that is in the process of decreasing employment in its manufacturing sector and increasing employment in its service sector, that is, the "rust belt". There are three major topics in the research. The first measures the aggregate amount of out and net youth migration from a deindustrializing region in the U.S. Migration in each year (1979-1987) in this region is compared to that in a similarly sized area where manufacturing employment increased. The second topic uses micro data to analyze the determinants of a youth's length of stay in a region. The empirical model allows for censoring and for time-varying explanatory factors and thus, corresponds to the temporal sequence of the locational decision-making process of youth. The third topic uses the same micro data set to analyze remigration to the home (deindustrializing) region. Here, the authors attempt to identify the characteristics of youth that are correlated with a successful out-migration. The empirical model again uses duration methods for analysis. Utilizing data from the 1979-1987 NLSY, the authors test for the factors that affect the migration decision of youth and then compare these results with their model of the remigration decision of previous out-migrants. The application is to a deindustrializing region of the U.S. and the results are contrasted with those for a region of similar spatial size which experienced growth in manufacturing employment.

2.	Women in the Labor Force: Place of Residence as It Relates to Labor Participation, Work Time Supplied and Income Returns Presented: Champaign-Urbana, IL, Mid-Continent Section, Regional Science Association, April 1974 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Regional Science Association International Keyword(s): Family Income; Husbands, Influence; Marital Status; Residence; Rural Women; Schooling; Well-Being; Work Attitudes; Work Experience Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study is concerned with the role place of residence plays in determining female labor force participation rates, amount of work time supplied by women, and rates of income return for work time supplied. Residence categories have been delineated as SMSA-nonfarm, SMSA-farm, non-SMSA-farm, and non-SMSA-nonfarm. The general concerns are: (1) whether women have the same opportunities to fulfill work desires in rural and nonmetropolitan areas as in metropolitan areas and under what conditions; and (2) to what extent do comparable amounts of work time supplied in any of the residence categories contribute to family income and general well-being. If rural or nonmetropolitan areas are at a disadvantage relative to metropolitan areas for any of these concerns, long-run adjustments may well be reflected in future decisions of where families locate.
