Black Family Migration and Wives' Employment Journal of Marriage and Family 46,4 (November 1984): 781-790. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/352526 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Women Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Black Family; Job Search; Migration; Minority Groups; Racial Differences Using data from the NLS of Young and Mature Women, this paper isolates determinants of black family migration in the U.S., incorporates variables reflecting the wife's employment experience into that model, and sorts out patterns of racial differences in the migration decision-making process. It also presents data, by race, on reasons for long-distance migration and whether wives line up jobs before a move. Stated reasons for moves and migration determinants are similar by race, leading to a residual minority group-status explanation for overall differences in rates. Implication of the findings for black women's employment are discussed. |
