The Intergenerational Production of the Health Gradient: Evidence among Immigrant Families Presented: Washington DC, Population Association of America Meetings, March-April 2011 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Child Health; Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS-B, ECLS-K); Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Height; Immigrants; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Weight Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Our project has two aims: 1. To assess how early in life socioeconomic patterns in health among second generation children begin to diverge from the socioeconomic patterns in health among their parents. 2. To test competing hypotheses about the intergenerational mechanisms that produce a health gradient among children in the absence of a similar gradient among parents. Although many aspects of health could be considered, our study will emphasize height, weight, chronic health conditions, and activity-limiting illness. These measures are collected from both parents and children in both the ECLS-B and NLSY-97 data sets. |
