Poverty and Migration Among Metropolitan Young Adults: Race and Gender Sine Loco, SL, Rural Sociological Society, 1988 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Rural Sociological Society Keyword(s): Behavior; Gender Differences; Migration; Mobility; Mobility, Economic; Poverty; Racial Differences; Rural Sociology; Rural Youth; Rural/Urban Migration Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The relationship between migration behavior and economic mobility of poor and nonpoor nonmetropolitan youth is examined using data from the NLSY. The empirical analysis centers on respondents aged 18+ who are in the adult labor force. Within the poor and nonpoor groupings, gender and racial/ethnic differences are examined. While migration seems to have no effect on change in poverty status, it does have an effect for whites and for females. Although the effect for whites is positive, the effect for females can be either positive or negative. [Sociological Abstracts, Inc.] |
