This study examines Hispanic geographic mobility in the context of the socioeconomic life cycle. It incorporates rich information on family background and examines its effects on geographic mobility and social mobility as well as on socioeconomic achievement. The objective of the analysis is to expand micro level research on the role of internal migration in improving the economic status of Hispanics. This is done by focusing on how family background conditions the propensity to migrate during young adulthood and in turn how migration decisions affect economic achievement net of the effects of social origins. Data are from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience-Youth Cohort.
