我们调查了墨西哥移民、家庭结构和高中辍学风险之间的联系。使用两波的墨西哥家庭生活调查，其中包括1,080名高中学生，我们纵向建模的家庭结构的作用，在随后的辍学风险，侧重于在单身母亲的移民的作用。我们发现，由于国际移民、离婚或分居而没有父亲的儿童比双亲家庭的儿童面临更大的风险。家庭的经济特征部分解释了离婚或分居导致儿童生活在单亲母亲家庭的原因，但不能解释美国有父亲的儿童辍学风险更大的原因。
We investigated the link between migration, family structure, and the risk of dropping out of upper secondary school in Mexico. Using two waves of the Mexican Family Life Survey, which includes 1,080 upper secondary students, we longitudinally modeled the role of family structure in the subsequent risk of dropping out, focusing on the role of migration in single motherhood. We found that children living without a father because of international migration or divorce or separation are at a greater risk relative to children in 2-parent households. Economic characteristics of the household provide a partial explanation for children living in single-mother households because of divorce or separation but do not explain the greater risk of dropping out for children with fathers in the United States.
