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. |
