FAMILY PATTERNS OF MIGRANTS TO THE NORTH

描述：该项目将提供一个深入的调查， 20世纪20年代南方移民到北方的家庭模式 （1）男性的婚姻状况 （2）已婚男性的生活安排， 女性，（3）有子女的成年妇女担任家长，（4）为人父母 未婚成年女性中，（5）年轻人的生活状况 孩子，特别是父母的存在或不存在。 许多 当代城市人口的社会问题被归咎于 “分裂”的家庭 有些人认为， 婚姻不稳定和单亲家庭的发生率， 在城市居民中，移植南方的“佃农制”， 文化”到北方城市。 然而，很少有经验证据表明， 整理，以彻底描述，更不用说解释，家庭模式， 南方移民 该项目将在很大程度上依赖综合公共使用微数据 系列（IPUMS）。 北方和西部大都市区的居民将 从1920年，1940年，1950年，1960年，1970年，1980年和1990年的文件中提取 IPUMS。 这些居民将根据他们的 移民历史 也就是说，他们有南方血统吗？ 如果是， 它们是最近迁徙的还是在更久远的过去 比较方法 将被用来确定移民的家庭模式是否不同 来自北方的长期居民。 几十年的分析将是 有助于评估迁移历史之间关系的变化 和家庭模式的变化 移民也将与 南方的定居人口。 将进行多水平分析， 确定大都市区的特征（例如，种族 组成，失业，居住隔离，未婚 生育）影响了个体的行为，和/或加剧了 移民身份的后果。 多变量“回归族”技术，如逻辑回归， 多项逻辑回归和加权最小二乘回归将 用于分析各种数据，主要目标是 确定南方移民是否表现出不同的家庭模式， 尤其是非移民。 这些分析得出的证据 将提供有关历史起源的重要信息， 当代内城家庭模式-特别是 “文化”解释强调一个无组织的， 不稳定的非裔美国人家庭系统

DESCRIPTION: This project will offer an in-depth investigation of the family patterns of southern migrants to the North during the twentieth century, with special attention devoted to: (1) the marital status of males and females, (2) the living arrangements of currently married males and females, (3) family headship by adult women with children, (4) parenthood among never married adult women, and (5) the living situations of young children, especially the presence or absence of parents. Many of the contemporary social problems of urban populations have been blamed on the "disintegrating" family. And, some have attributed the relatively high incidence of unstable marriages and single-parent households, more common among urban residents, to the transplantation of a southern "sharecropping culture" to northern cities. Yet, very little empirical evidence has been marshaled to describe thoroughly, much less explain, the family patterns of southern migrants. The project will rely heavily upon the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS). Residents of northern and western metropolitan areas will be extracted from the 1920, 1940, 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, and 1990 files of the IPUMS. These residents will then be classified according to their migration histories. That is, did they have southern origins? If so, did they migrate recently, or in the more distant past? A comparative approach will be used to determine whether the family patterns of migrants differ from long-time residents of the North. Analyses across decades will be useful for assessing changes in the relationship between migration history and family patterns over time. Migrants will also be compared with the sedentary southern population. Multilevel analyses will be conducted to determine whether the characteristics of metropolitan areas (e.g., racial composition, unemployment, residential segregation, non-marital childbearing) affected the behavior of individuals, and/or aggravated the consequences of migrant status. Multivariate, "regression family" techniques such as logistic regression, multinomial logistic regression, and weighted least squares regression will be used to analyze the diverse data, with the primary objective of determining whether southern migrants exhibited family pattens that differed significantly from non-migrants. The evidence yielded by these analyses will provide important information regarding the historical origins of contemporary inner-city family patterns -- especially the viability of "cultural" explanations that stress the diffusion of a disorganized and unstable African-American family system from the South.
