U.S. RACIAL DIFFERENCES IN FAMILY STRUCTURE

这项研究将有助于填补我们对历史知识的一个重大空白。 黑人和白色家庭的差异。 该项目将 从1）公共使用抽样表格中分析链接的家庭记录 1910年美国人口普查的手稿记录和2）a 南方黑人的补充样本来自同一来源。 没有 1940年以前的全国家庭/住户结构研究， 这些数据可以详细描述个人的情况， 家庭的生活安排。 拟议工作将提供 1）核心家庭的比例， 2）女户主家庭的普遍性， 3)儿童的居住状况，特别是 显然不与母亲生活在一起或生活在女户主家庭的儿童 家庭 将研究这些措施中的黑人/白色差异 各地区、各州和城乡居民区的 丈夫或妻子”（例如年龄、文化程度和就业状况）和 职业隔离、种族密度和性别的一系列措施 比率。 这些表格和其他表格将用于测试 关于种族差异原因的假设 家庭/家庭结构。 一般来说，种族差异 死亡率较高和/或社会经济地位较低 黑人的地位？ 是否存在以低性别为特征的社会环境 影响家庭/住户的比率和/或种族集中情况 结构？

This research will help fill a major gap in our knowledge of historical differences in black and white families/household. the project will analyze linked household records from 1) a Public Use Sample drawn form manuscript records of the 1910 U.S. Census of Population and 2) a supplementary sample of southern blacks drawn from the same source. No pre-1940 national study of family/household structure has been undertaken and these data allow detailed description of individuals' and families' living arrangements. Proposed work will provide estimates of racial differences in 1) the proportion of households that are nuclear, extended and augmented 2) the prevalence of female headed households and 3) the residential statuses of children, especially the proportion of children apparently not living with mothers or living in female headed families. Black/white differences in theses measures will be examined across regions, states and rural-urban residence, by characteristics of husbands' or wives' (such as age, literacy and employment status) and by serial measures of occupational segregation, racial density, and sex ratios. These and additional tabulations will be used to test hypotheses regarding the causes of racial differences in family/household structure. Most generally, can the racial difference be accounted for by the higher mortality and/or the lower socioeconomic position of blacks? Are there social contexts characterized by low sex ratios and/or racial concentration that affect family/household structure?
