Association of Migration with Hospitalization and Mortality Among Medicare Beneficiaries with End-Stage Renal Disease in Puerto Rico After Hurricane Maria
Background: Hurricane Maria, which struck Puerto Rico (PR) on September 20, 2017, was one of the worst natural disasters in modern US history. Maria disproportionately impacted chronically ill patients, such as those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), some of whom migrated to the US mainland to receive care. Objective: We aim to examine the association of migration with hospitalization and mortality among Medicare beneficiaries with ESRD. Metho…
Learning From Natural Experiments to Accelerate Demographic Research on Climate‐Related Threats to Human Populations
Climate change has increased the destructive force of natural hazards and the occurrence of disasters that damage housing and infrastructure and threaten the health and wellbeing of human populations. Demographic research on disasters advances understanding of climate impacts on coastal populations exposed to tropical cyclones, storm surge, and flooding. However, rigorous study designs that allow for inferences about causal mechanisms are needed.…
Population Change in Wildfire-Affected Areas in the United States
Migration as a Vector of Economic Losses From Disaster-Affected Areas in the United States
We introduce the consideration of human migration into research on economic losses from extreme weather disasters. Taking a comparative case study approach and using data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York/Equifax Consumer Credit Panel, we document the size of economic losses attributable to migration from 23 disaster-affected areas in the United States before, during, and after some of the most costly hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires …
Pregnancies in the United States by Desire for Pregnancy
We examine whether changes in U.S. pregnancy, birth, and abortion rates between 2009 and 2015 reflect underlying change in the incidence of pregnancies classified by retrospectively reported pregnancy desires: pregnancies reported as having occurred at about the right time, later than wanted, too soon, or not wanted at all, and those for which individuals expressed other feelings, including uncertainty, ambivalence, or indifference. We calculate …

Environmental migration as short‐ or long‐term differences from a trend
An environmental event that damages housing and the built environment may result in either a short- or long-term out-migration response, depending on residents' recovery decisions and hazard tolerance. If residents move only in the immediate disaster aftermath, then out-migration will be elevated only in the short-term. However, if disasters increase residents' concerns about future risk, heighten vulnerability, or harm the local economy, then ou…
Migration towards Bangladesh coastlines projected to increase with sea-level rise through 2100
To date, projections of human migration induced by sea-level change (SLC) largely suggest large-scale displacement away from vulnerable coastlines. However, results from our model of Bangladesh suggest counterintuitively that people will continue to migrate toward the vulnerable coastline irrespective of the flooding amplified by future SLC under all emissions scenarios until the end of this century. We developed an empirically calibrated agent-b…

Changing spatial interconnectivity during the “Great American Migration Slowdown”
Prior research on the "Great American Migration Slowdown," or the declining rate of U.S. internal migration in recent decades, is dominated by two research foci. The first is concerned with the determinants of the migration slowdown. The second is concerned with spatial heterogeneity in the migration slowdown in and across places. With respect to the aim of this paper, many studies of spatial heterogeneity in the migration slowdown have implicitl…
Differential Recovery Migration across the Rural–Urban Gradient
Places affected or threatened by extreme environmental disturbances confront a number of significant issues, including whether their populations will stay the same or change through migration. Research on Hurricanes Katrina and Rita shows some displaced residents returned to their disaster‐affected communities once the built environment was restored, new migrants settled in affected places as part of the rebuilding effort, and the regional migrat…
Implications of Social and Legal Status on Immigrants' Health in Disaster Zones
This commentary highlights how immigrants who are linguistically isolated, have limited social networks, and lack legal immigration status experience unique health risks in disaster zones. Research on immigrants and disasters tends to focus on immigrants with these characteristics who are residents of disaster-affected areas, disaster recovery workers, or both. We review the sparse research literature and provide examples of innovative but underr…
Weather-Related Hazards and Population Change
Environmental determinists predict that people move away from places experiencing frequent weather hazards, yet some of these areas have rapidly growing populations. This analysis examines the relationship between weather events and population change in all U.S. counties that experienced hurricanes and tropical storms between 1980 and 2012. Our database allows for more generalizable conclusions by accounting for heterogeneity in current and past …
Strategic Gender Egalitarianism in Rural China
When men migrate for work and couples live separately, gender relations may be altered in response. Our research in rural China about husbands' and wives' perceptions of household decision making and gender-related attitudes examines hypotheses derived from Connell's theory of gender structures using the Gansu Survey of Children and Families. Consistent with previous research, we find that both migrant husbands and their wives perceive that women…
Population recovery in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina
Recovery Migration After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
Changes in the human migration systems of the Gulf of Mexico coastline counties affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita provide an example of how climate change may affect coastal populations. Crude climate change models predict a mass migration of “climate refugees,” but an emerging literature on environmental migration suggests that most migration will be short-distance and short-duration within existing migration systems, with implications for…
The Long-Term Recovery of New Orleans’ Population After Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina created a catastrophe in the City of New Orleans when the storm surge caused the levee system to fail on August 29, 2005. The destruction of housing displaced hundreds of thousands of residents for varying lengths of time, often permanently. It also revealed gaps in our knowledge of how population is recovered after a disaster causes widespread destruction of urban infrastructure and housing. In this article, I identify social, …

Homeownership and Housing Displacement After Hurricane Katrina Among Low‐Income African‐American Mothers in New Orleans
Objective We evaluate the effect of pre‐Katrina housing tenure and postdisaster financial resources on the odds of housing displacement after Hurricane Katrina for a sample of low‐income African‐American mothers. Methods Using longitudinal data from a sample of low‐income African‐American mothers with pre‐Katrina measures of housing tenure and individual characteristics and post‐Katrina indicators of disaster impacts, we estimate a multinomial lo…

Warmth of the Welcome
Natives' attitudes toward immigrants and immigration policy are important factors in the context of reception of immigrants because they contribute to a warm or chilly welcome, which potentially shapes immigrant and ethnic identities and intergroup relations. Public opinion polls show a recent 'warming' of Americans' traditional ambivalence about immigration. Empirical research on attitudes toward immigrants and racial groups formed by recent wav…
Displaced
Hurricane Katrina forced the largest and most abrupt displacement in U.S. history. About 1.5 million people evacuated from the Gulf Coast preceding Katrina’s landfall. New Orleans, a city of 500,000, was nearly emptied of life after the hurricane and flooding. Katrina survivors eventually scattered across all fifty states, and tens of thousands still remain displaced. Some are desperate to return to the Gulf Coast but cannot find the means. Other…

The limits to cumulative causation
We present theoretical arguments and empirical research to suggest that the principal mechanisms of cumulative causation do not function in large urban settings. Using data from the Mexican Migration Project, we found evidence of cumulative causation in small cities, rural towns and villages, but not in large urban areas. With event-history models, we found little positive effect of community-level social capital and a strong deterrent effect of …

Explaining Pro-Immigrant Sentiment in the U.S
In the U.S., research on attitudes toward immigrants generally focuses on anti-immigrant sentiment. Yet, the 1996 General Social Survey indicates that half the population believes that immigrants favorably impact the U.S. economy and culture. Using these data, we analyze theories of both pro- and anti-immigrant sentiment. While we find some support for two theories of intergroup competition, our most important finding connects a cosmopolitan worl…
Persistent marriage regimes in changing times
Marriage among women in Latin America occurs early in life and is nearly universal in spite of the social and economic changes and instability in the region. We use demographic measures to illustrate the precociousness, persistence, and universality of marriage during the past 50 years. We argue that marriage is central to social life because families serve as an important cultural institution for countering the vicissitudes of the economy. Women…
The Deportation Threat Dynamic and Victimization of Latino Migrants
Deportations have been increasing since the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, although the number of unauthorized migrants working in the United States has increased as well. These conditions enable the deportation threat dynamic, a social mechanism which plays out between unauthorized Latino migrants and those who seek to take advantage of them and exposes the migrants to the risk of wage theft and robbery. I use …
Sources of Mexico's Migration Stream
There are three distinct sources of Mexico-U.S. migration flow: the oldest stream from rural communities in central western Mexico, an incipient stream from interior urban areas, and a small but steady stream from Tijuana, a northern border city. Using the Mexican Migration Project data with expanded geographic coverage, I identify these streams and examine how differences in the origin community in terms of family-based migration-related social …

Hurricane Chasers in New Orleans
Little is known about the Latino workers who came to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina to clean up and repair the city. The author uses data from surveys collected at the visits of the Brazilian, Mexican, and Nicaraguan consulates ( N = 253) to study the internally mobile immigrants who arrived after Katrina and who anticipate leaving New Orleans within 2 years of the survey, or what the author calls a rapid response labor force. Four hypothese…

The Cumulative Causation of International Migration in Latin America
The theory of the cumulative causation of migration posits that as migratory experience grows within a sending community, the likelihood that other community members will initiate a migratory trip increases. This diffusion is expected to vary across time and place according to differences in the mechanisms guiding this behavior. The author compares the effect of the prevalence of migratory experience on the likelihood that adult men would take a …

The Transition to Adulthood in Aging Societies
Population aging and the delay in family formation that are occurring in industrialized countries are intimately related. Young adults are spending more of their early twenties attending school and focusing on employment, and they are postponing marriage and childbearing until their late twenties and early thirties. In sum, they are having fewer children later in life, and in doing so, they contribute to the aging of the population. Some argue th…
Making Labor Flexible
This article revisits the debate over the benefits of export-oriented manufacturing employment for women by taking up Linda Lim's (1990) critique that such research is often biased in its methods and conclusions. Using a sample of 198 women workers from the 1993 Labor Trajectories Survey, I conduct a multivariate statistical analysis to test whether the social and demographic characteristics of the female maquiladora labor force influence their p…

The Changing Adolescent Experience
The path adolescents take from childhood to adulthood is a product of social, economic, political, and technological forces. These forces may facilitate youth's preparation to become healthy adults, or they may leave youth unprepared for adulthood. Knowledgeable projections are vital in shaping the agenda for research; for alerting educators, policy makers, and practitioners to new issues; and for formulating thoughtful responses to emerging dile…

Introduction
INTRODUCTIONIn the last third of the 20th century, children's special protected status has been affirmed by nearly every nation (UNICEF 2002). Yet throughout the world, are still more likely to live in poverty than are adults (European Commission 2001). Some national governments have attempted to reduce and eliminate childhood poverty. In 1964 the American President Johnson launched 'War on Poverty.' In 1975 the European Commission created its fi…

The Transition to Adulthood During the Twentieth Century
This chapter offers a broad overview of the experience of youth from 1900 up to the present. It describes changes in the experience of young people between the ages of sixteen and thirty who lived between 1900 and 2000, distinguishing between men and women, native-born and foreign-born individuals, and native-born whites and blacks. It relates changes in the combinations of adult statuses that average young people in these groups experience both …

Post-Katrina New Orleans as a New Migrant Destination
The Latino immigrants arriving in New Orleans immediately after Katrina showed that they are often the first to respond to new labor demand for low-skill occupations. Using a convenience sample of this population collected between 5 and 7 months after Katrina, I investigated the sociodemographic and migratory characteristics of the “rapid response labor force” at a time when very little reliable population data were available. Whereas other artic…
Introduction
This article introduces a special issue of Organization & Environment that uses the historic case of Hurricane Katrina to investigate the social organization of demographic responses to disaster. It begins by establishing natural disasters as a dramatic form of human interaction with the environment. It then goes on to advance a novel framework for understanding the different population movements triggered by such interaction in the context of br…

The impact of Hurricane Katrina on the mental and physical health of low-income parents in New Orleans
The purpose of this study was to document changes in mental and physical health among 392 low-income parents exposed to Hurricane Katrina and to explore how hurricane-related stressors and loss relate to post-Katrina well-being. The prevalence of probable serious mental illness doubled, and nearly half of the respondents exhibited probable posttraumatic stress disorder. Higher levels of hurricane-related loss and stressors were generally associat…
