The proposed research explores interrelationships between migration, contraceptive choice, and social networks using a unique set of social surveys collected in Nang Rong, Thailand. Social networks- i.e., sets of relations between individuals, households, and communities -are key to the dissemination of information and diffusion processes more generally. They are also fundamental to an understanding of norms, normative pressure, and conformity. The proposed research will shed light on these mechanisms by investigating: (a) social networks in the place of origin and the likelihood of finding and successfully interviewing out-migrants; (b) the implications of social networks at the origin and connections between the origin and destination for the amount, composition, and directionality of remittance flows; (c) the effect of social network position on contraceptive choice. Comparisons of kin-based networks with networks based on economic assistance and exchange, and of networks at multiple levels of analysis will make it possible to draw some inferences about the relative importance of normative pressure and information flow in accounting for effects. Further, in contrast to literatures preoccupied with migration and fertility as outcomes, the proposed research will also consider them as potential determinants of social network position and the overall structure of social networks. The proposed research will use data collected in 1984, 1994 and 1995 as part of the Nang Rong CEP and CEP-CPC Surveys. Innovative elements of the data include the prospective panel design; 100 percent samples of households and individuals within study villages; the follow-up of out-migrants from a subset of villages and the ability to link them to origin households; and complete social network data at multiple levels and for multiple relations. The last will be used to develop quantitative measures of network position(centrality, path length, component membership) and structure (density, average path length, prevalence of isolates, number of components) which will be featured in regression-based statistical models of the likelihood of finding out-migrants; the composition, amount and directionality of remittance flows between them and the origin households; and contraceptive choices made by migrants, return migrants, and non-migrants. Measures of network position will be the focus of models investigating the effects of household size and change for the ties with other households in villages. Prosposed statistical techniques take account of selectivity and patterns of clustering

拟议的研究探讨移民，避孕选择，和社交网络之间的相互关系，使用一套独特的社会调查收集在泰国廊荣。社交网络-即，个人、家庭和社区之间的各种关系-是信息传播和更广泛的传播过程的关键。 它们也是理解规范、规范压力和一致性的基础。 拟议的研究将通过调查以下内容来阐明这些机制：（a）原籍地的社交网络以及找到和成功采访出境移民的可能性;（B）原籍地的社交网络以及原籍地和目的地之间的联系对汇款流量的数量、构成和方向的影响;（c）社交网络地位对避孕药具选择的影响。 比较基于亲属的网络与基于经济援助和交换的网络，以及多层次分析的网络，将有可能得出一些关于规范压力和信息流在解释影响方面的相对重要性的推论。此外，与专注于将移民和生育率作为结果的文献相反，拟议的研究还将把它们视为社会网络地位和社交网络整体结构的潜在决定因素。拟议的研究将使用1984年、1994年和1995年收集的数据，作为Nang Rong CEP和CEP-CPC调查的一部分。数据的创新要素包括前瞻性小组设计;研究村庄内100%的家庭和个人样本;对来自一个村庄子集的外出移民的跟踪以及将他们与原籍家庭联系起来的能力;以及多层次和多关系的完整社会网络数据。 最后将用于开发网络位置的定量测量（中心性、路径长度、组件成员）和结构（密度、平均路径长度、分离株的流行率、组成部分的数量），这将在基于回归的统计模型中体现出来，以确定是否有可能发现外移者;外移者与原籍家庭之间汇款的构成、数额和方向;以及移民、返回移民和非移民所作的避孕选择。 网络位置的措施将是重点的模型调查家庭规模和变化的影响，与其他家庭在村庄的联系。建议的统计技术考虑到选择性和模式的集群
