1.	A Multilevel Analysis of Young Adult Migration, 1980-1998 Ph.D. Dissertation, Utah State University, 2002 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Earnings, Husbands; Earnings, Wives; Education; Educational Status; Family Resources; Migration The primary objective of this research was to investigate the propensity to migrate the destination choices of young adults, and the importance of individual, household, and community characteristics in these migration choices. Using cohort data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth79 from 1980 to 1998, this study specifies the set of individual-, household-, and community-level of determinants on migration and then incorporates these variables in multivariate analyses to test their direct and relative effects on the migratory behavior of young adult groups. A Cox proportional hazard analysis suggests that among three levels of factors, individual characteristics are the most important determinants of migration, but the migratory behavior is more fully explained by multilevel variables rather than a single-level variable. This research had three foci within the primary objective. This research these issues using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 79 (NLSY79) from 1980 to 1998. This study employs two multivariate analyses: First, logisitic regression model techniques are used to determine the effects of individual characteristics (age, sex, race and ethnicity, marital status, education, employment status, income, and status inconsistency), household characteristics (family size, young children, total net family income, and power relations between husbands and wives), and community characteristics (population size, the percent of the white population, the percent of 4-years college-educated, per capita personal income, and unemployment rate) on the probability and the direction of migration. Second, a Cox proportional hazard model helps to correct for the censoring problems in the longitudinal data and to explore the simultaneous effects on the hazard of migration by variables specified at the individual, family, and community levels.

2.	The Effects of Status Inconsistency between Spouses on Migration in the United States: Propensities and Rural-Urban Destination Selections Korea Journal of Population Studies 26,2 (2003): 197-219 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Han'guk In'guhak Keyword(s): Education; Educational Status; Gender Attitudes/Roles; Gender Differences; Migration Patterns; Rural/Urban Migration; Wives Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using the panel data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 79, we test the effects of relative status inconsistency within American young couples on the direction of migration as well as on migration propensities. Key findings in this study indicate that only couples in which the wife's education is greater than the husband's education are less likely to migrate than couples for which the wife's status is as lower than the husband's. There are no differences in the propensity for rural couples to migrate to urban counties or for urban couples to migrate to rural counties based on status inconsistency between spouses. However, we find that there is the gendered difference in the effect of status inconsistency on the probability of family migration. A spouse's higher status has an impact on a wife's probability of migration but does not affect a husband's migration propensity in a comparable situation. These findings are most consistent with a gender role perspective on migration since increases in the wife's status have little effect on family migration, once the presence and age of children is controlled.

3.	The Effects of Status Inconsistency between Spouses on Migration: Analysis of NLSY79 Couples Presented: Minneapolis, MN, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, May 2003. Also: http://paa2003.princeton.edu/abstractViewer.asp?submissionId=62819 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Earnings, Husbands; Earnings, Wives; Education; Educational Status; Family Resources; Migration Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using the concept of status inconsistency and family resources theory as the base, we test influences of relative educational and income status between spouses on family migration. Panel data from the NLSY79 indicates that only one form of status inconsistency within the couple do affect the probability of migration. The greater educational status of wives decreases the probability of migration, while the wife's relative economic position does not depress the likelihood of migration. However, we find that there is the gendered difference in the effect of status inconsistency on the probability of migration. A spouse's higher status has an impact on a wife's probability of migration but does not affect a husband's migration propensity in a comparable situation. It cannot be accounted by both the human capital and the family resource theory, since the asymmetrical power relation between husbands and wives seems to be imposed outside the family.

Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0276562408000322 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Educational Status; Migration Patterns; Rural/Urban Migration; Socioeconomic Status (SES) We use NLSY79 panel data to extend the line of sociological research encouraged in the early work of Lenski by analyzing the effects of social status inconsistencies on the likelihood and direction of migration. Given that migration is often viewed as a way for individuals to locate prospective returns fitting for their qualifications, analysis of migration behavior offers an opportunity to examine the impact of status inconsistency. Key findings indicate that under-rewarded individuals, specifically relatively highly educated individuals in low status and low paying occupations, are more likely to migrate than are status consistent individuals. Over-rewarded individuals are less likely to migrate. These findings vary across metropolitan and nonmetropolitan places: individuals in nonmetropolitan areas who are under-rewarded or have mixed statuses have higher odds of migration than status consistent respondents. Individuals in metropolitan areas with inconsistent statuses are not more likely to migrate than status consistent respondents once other determinants of migration are entered in the analysis. Exploratory analysis shows migration increases the likelihood of achieving status consistency. Further examination of the interrelationship between migration and status inconsistency is recommended.
