Socioeconomic Returns to Migration Among Married Women Social Forces 62,2 (December 1983): 487-503. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2578318 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: University of North Carolina Press Keyword(s): Earnings, Wives; Migration Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The aim of the present study is to: (1) examine the effect of migration on changes in earnings among a cohort of older married women; and (2) assess whether "returns" to migration vary systematically by the wife's educational and occupational resources in a manner consistent with the tenets of family resource theory. Using the Mature Women cohort of the NLS, we find that migration has a significant negative effect on earnings in the short-term, but that the longer- term effects are minimal. Contrary to our hypothesis, however, the negative effect of migration on married women's earnings is not diminished regardless of levels of educational and occupational resources. The implications of these results are discussed. |
