US-UK Cooperative Research: A Cross-National Analysis of Family Migration and the Labor Market Achievement of Partnered Women and Men

这个为期一年的奖项为美英合作研究家庭移民的原因和后果提供支持。这项合作包括康涅狄格大学的托马斯·j·库克、利兹大学的保罗·博伊尔和威尔士-斯旺西大学的基思·哈尔法克里。这项研究的动机是关于家庭迁移对劳动力市场的影响的相互矛盾的经验证据，特别是已婚妇女在劳动力市场上的成就。虽然大多数研究表明，家庭内部的居住决策过程往往有助于加强妇女的边缘社会经济地位，但最近的研究表明，在特定情况下，移民对已婚妇女来说可能是一种社会和经济解放的经历。调查人员将使用1991年英国人口普查的匿名记录样本（SARs）和1990年美国人口普查的公共使用微数据样本（PUMS）中的个人数据来调查已婚和同居女性和男性的家庭迁移。美国和英国的调查人员在移民研究方面具有互补的专业知识，并分别对PUMS和SARs数据有广泛的了解。该项目将促进对地理流动与一般社会经济流动之间的联系以及对妇女社会经济地位的了解。

9729587CookeThis one-year award provides support for US-UK cooperative research on the causes and consequences of family migration. The collaboration involves Thomas J. Cooke of the University of Connecticut, Paul Boyle of the University of Leeds, and Keith Halfacree of the University of Wales-Swansea. The motivation for this research is the conflicting empirical evidence regarding the effect of family migration on the labor market, in particular, the achievements of married women in labor markets. While most research demonstrates that residential decision-making processes within the family often serve to reinforce the marginal socioeconomic position of women, more recent research indicates that in particular contexts migration may be a socially and economically liberating experience for married women. The investigators will use individual-level data from the Samples of Anonymised Records (SARs) of the 1991 British Census and the Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) of the 1990 US Census to investigate family migration on married, and cohabiting, women and men.The US and British investigators have complementary expertise in migration research and extensive knowledge of the PUMS and SARs data respectively. The project will advance understanding of the linkages between geographic mobility and socioeconomic mobility in general, and of the socioeconomic position of women.
