本研究探讨了西班牙裔，黑人和非西班牙裔白人之间的家庭组成和家庭收入来源之间的关系。具体来说，我们调查在何种程度上延长生活安排有助于缓冲劳动力市场的不利影响所面临的少数民族户主。logit和回归分析的结果表明，大家庭住户普遍性的差异主要反映了群体在扩展倾向方面的差异，但这种人口机制也可以作为一种补偿战略，补充少数户主暂时或长期的低收入。在黑人和西班牙裔家庭中，非核心成员对家庭总收入的贡献很大，尽管他们对贫困和非贫困家庭的相对贡献大致相似。非核心成员在非西班牙裔白色家庭似乎没有参与显着的家庭收入的产生。
This research examines th relationship between household composition and sources of household income among Hispanics, blacks, and non-Hispanic whites. Specifically, we investigate the extent to which extended living arrangements help buffer the effect of labor market disadvantages faced by minority household heads. Results of logit and regression analyses indicate that differences in the prevalence of extented family households reflect primarily group-specific differences in the propensity to extend, but that this demographic mechanism may also serve as a compensatory strategy for supplementing the temporarily or chronically low earnings of minority household heads. In black and Hispanic households, nonnuclear members contribute significantly to total household income, although their relative contributions are approximately similar for poor and nonpoor households. Nonnuclear members in non-Hispanic white households appear not to participate significantly in the generation of household income.
