Consequences of Residential Mobility During Childhood

描述(由申请人提供)：近五分之一的儿童 美国每年都会搬家。并不是所有的孩子都面临同样的搬家风险- 生活在贫困中，家庭破裂，身为非裔美国人都在增加 移动的概率。高比率和潜在的负面影响 儿童时期的居住流动性，特别是在已经处于不利地位的人群中 儿童，并引起研究人员和政策制定者的极大兴趣 贫穷和不平等的代际传递。通过使用 新获得的数据和更合适的统计方法 之前曾使用过，拟议的研究旨在了解 这种普遍的现象--居民流动--在贫困的使命中发挥着作用 以及代际之间和生命过程中的不平等。这项研究是 设计目标：问题：1)住宅移动性在多大程度上 童年影响儿童的教育结果劳动力市场的成功，以及 青春期和成年早期的家庭形成？2)家庭如何 儿童时期的流动性会影响儿童的机会和结果吗？ 对地理流动性的选择在多大程度上影响 确定住宅流动性的影响？通过仔细分析 儿童时期的运动影响结果的机制，以及 使用统计模型对地理上的选择进行校正 这项研究有望澄清我们对流动人口的理解 儿童时期居住地流动的后果。

DESCRIPTION ( provided by applicant): Nearly one in five children in the United States move each year. Not all children face an equal risk of moving - living in poverty, family disruption, and being African American all increase the probability of moving. High rates and potentially negative effects of residential mobility during childhood, especially among already disadvantaged children, and of great interest to researchers and policy-makers interested in the intergenerational transmission of poverty and inequality. Through the use of newly available data and more appropriate statistical methods than previously employed, the proposed research aims to understand the role that this common phenomenon -residential mobility -plays in the mission of poverty and inequality between generations and over the life course. This research is designed to an: questions: 1) To what extent does residential mobility during childhood influence children's educational outcomes labor market success, and family formation in adolescence and early adulthood? 2) How does residential mobility during childhood affect children's opportunities and outcomes? 3) To what extent does selection into geographic mobility influence the identification of residential mobility effects? Through a careful analysis of the mechanisms through which moving during childhood affects outcomes, and the use of statistical models to correct for selection into the geographically mobile population, this research promises to clarify our understanding of the consequences of residential mobility during childhood.
