Women's Education, International Migration and the Educational Attainment of the Next Generation: The Tale of Two Countries Presented: Dallas, TX, Population Association of America Meetings, April 2010 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Cross-national Analysis; Demography; Educational Attainment; Educational Returns; Fertility; Hispanics; Immigrants; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Migration; Mothers, Education Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. I examine the role of migration in the reproduction of education in Mexico and the U.S. Specifically, I investigate how women's education shape their migration behavior and how the resulting changes in migration affect marriage, fertility, and offspring's education. To accomplish this goal, I construct a demographic model that takes into account transmission of education, migration, marriage, and fertility. I then use the constructed demographic model to simulate the effects of hypothetical changes in the educational characteristics of women in Mexico and estimate their effects on the distribution of schooling in the next generation in Mexico and the U.S. Improvements in women's education in Mexico have beneficial effects on the distribution of schooling in both countries. The beneficial effects are offset by the lower rates of fertility among better educated women, but reinforced by the more favorable matches that women make. Migration reinforces the effects in the U.S. and offsets the effects in Mexico. |

Racial/Ethnic Variation in the Relationship Between Educational Assortative Mating and Wives' Income Trajectories Demography (January 2023): 10421624. Also: https://doi.org/10.1215/00703370-10421624 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Assortative Mating; Earnings, Wives; Educational Attainment; Ethnic Differences; Income; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Prior work has examined the relationship between educational assortative mating and wives' labor market participation but has not assessed how this relationship varies by race/ethnicity. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, we estimate group-based developmental trajectories to investigate whether the association between educational assortative mating and wives' income trajectories varies by race/ethnicity. The presence, prevalence, and shapes of prototypical long-term income trajectories vary markedly across racial/ethnic groups. Whites are more likely than Blacks and Hispanics to follow income trajectories consistent with a traditional gender division of labor. The association between educational assortative mating is also stronger for Whites than for Blacks and Hispanics. White wives in educationally hypogamous unions make the greatest contribution to the couple's total income, followed by those in homogamous and hypergamous unions. Black and Hispanic wives in hypogamous unions are less likely than their peers in other unions to be secondary earners. These findings underscore the need for studies of the consequences of educational assortative mating to pay closer attention to heterogeneity across and within racial/ethnic groups. |
