Hispanic Supplement to the Panel Study of Income Dynamics

西班牙裔是美国第二大少数民族，也是增长最快的少数民族。1980年的人口普查是美国第一次明确追踪西班牙裔个人和家庭，将以白人为主的西班牙裔与非西班牙裔白人区分开来。然而，拉美裔人仍然是目前没有被纵向调查覆盖的最重要的种族群体，这些调查能够跟踪同一个人和家庭三年或更长时间。对这一发展构成障碍的一个主要费用是绘制初始样本的费用。这项建议将利用最近抽取的和目前正在对其政治参与情况进行调查的2000名西班牙裔答复者的抽样，在目前有影响力的收入动态小组研究中，连续几年对同一抽样进行后续调查。代际和代际间的社会流动、劳动力参与和失业、进入和摆脱贫困、福利的使用以及西班牙裔人口的变化都是现在可以用这个样本进行长期研究的主题。

Hispanics comprise the second largest minority ethnic group in this country and the fastest growing. The 1980 was the first U.S. census to explicitly track Hispanic individuals and families as such, distinguishing the largely white Hispanics from non-Hispanic whites. Yet Hispanics remain the most important ethnic group not now covered by longitudinal surveys capable of following the same individuals and families over three or more calendar years. A major cost posing obstacles to this development is that of drawing the initial sample. This proposal would take advantage of a sample of 2000 Hispanic respondents, recently drawn and currently being surveyed about their political participation, by adding follow-up surveys of the same sample in successive years to the current and influential Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Intergenerational and intragenerational social mobility, labor force participation and unemployment, movement into and out of poverty, usage of welfare, and the changing demographics of the Hispanic population are among the subjects that can now be studied over time with this sample.
