Migration and Work Histories: A Longitudinal Analysis

很少有研究在纵向的基础上考察迁移和生命周期事件之间的联系。该奖项将允许开发分析，将移民与工作生涯展开时的关键事件联系起来。分析将依赖于有关移民时间和工作历史事件的信息，这些信息来自美国人口普查收入和项目参与调查的数据。将使用已经为纵向数据分析开发的统计模型，从人力资本模型和生命历程分析框架中检验假设。这项研究为生命历程中事件的联系性质提供了新的理论见解，从而为这一文献以及移民文献做出了贡献。以经验的方式，这项研究将允许评估移徙与劳动力活动的密切程度，并显示具体事件的重要性。

Indiana U. Very few studies have examined the linkages between migration and life cycle events on a longitudinal basis. This award will allow the development of analyses which connect migration to critical events as a working career unfolds. The analysis will rely upon information regarding the timing of migration and work history events through data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation of the U.S. Census. Hypotheses will be tested from human capital models and the framework of life course analysis using statistical models that have already been developed for the analysis of longitudinal data. The research promises new theoretical insights into the linked nature of events in the life course and thus contributes both to this body of literature as well as the migration literature. In an empirical manner the research will allow the evaluation of how closely migration is associated with labor force activity and to show the importance of specific events.
