American Young Adults' Rural-to-Urban Migration and Timing of Exits from Poverty Spells Presented: Washington, DC, Population Association of America Meetings, March 2001 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Exits; Family Characteristics; Gender; Human Capital; Marital Status; Migration; Poverty; Rural/Urban Differences; Rural/Urban Migration Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study examined the timing of exit from poverty among rural young adults who migrated to urban areas in the United States, using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, with a focus on gender and marital status. Poverty spells that involved relocation to urban areas lasted longer than those that did not. Poverty exit rates upon relocating to urban areas declined each year the young adults remained in poverty, but the impact of remaining in urban areas on reduced poverty exit rates diminished when family characteristics, human capital, and labor market factors were controlled. |
