Classifying America's Immigrants
US official racial and ethnic statistics have a complex history. Racial statistics have been collected in the US census since 1790, although the question content and categories have changed significantly. An official federal classification system was first created in 1977 and revised in 1997. The classification is currently under discussion for further possible changes. Federal racial statistics also emerged in agencies outside the US Census Bure…
Group size and secular endogamy among the religiously unaffiliated in Canada
Earning Gaps for Chinese Immigrants in Canada and the United States
This study compares the US and Canada on the gap in earnings between Chinese immigrants and native‐born whites. Canada and the US are arguably more alike than most possible country pairings, yet they differ in significant ways in their approaches to immigration and integration. The primary difference between Canada and the US regarding immigration policy is that Canada selects a larger proportion of economic immigrants – that is, those admitted b…
Religious Intermarriage in Canada, 1981 to 2011
Is the social influence of religion weakening as the ranks of the unaffiliated grow and religious attendance falls? Will these changes extend to religion's influence on marriage? This research note contributes to these discussions by examining religious intermarriage as another indicator of religion's social influence. Increased religious intermarriage may indicate a weakening of traditional norms of religious endogamy and a decline in religion's…
The Statistical Analysis of Longitudinal Data
The volume, Lives in Transition, edited by Peter Baskerville and Kris Inwood, provides a valuable sampling of empirical research by historians using longitudinal data. It improves upon the current understanding of a variety of historical issues by focusing on different aspects and stages of individual life courses and identifying questions for further study. It demonstrates the important empirical challenges and presents a variety of substantive …
The Changing Canadian Population
Current social and economic changes in Canada raise many questions. Will Canada's education system be able to maintain its competitiveness when faced with increasing globalization? Will the growing numbers of immigrants and their children be successfully integrated? How will Canada's social institutions respond to a rapidly aging population? The Changing Canadian Population assembles answers from many of Canada's most distinguished scholars, who …

Age-at-Arrival's Effects on Asian Immigrants’ Socioeconomic Outcomes in Canada and the U.S
Age-at-arrival is a key predictor of many immigrant outcomes, but discussion continues over how to best measure and study its effects. This research replicates and extends a pioneering study by Myers, Gao, and Emeka [International Migration Review (2009) 43:205–229] on age-at-arrival effects among Mexican immigrants in the U.S. to see if similar results hold for other immigrant groups and in other countries. We examine data from the 2000 U.S. cen…

"Canadian" as National Ethnic Origin
This paper examines the emergence of "Canadian" as a national ethnic origin by conducting: (i) a trend analysis on identifying as "Canadian" using microdata from the 1991, 1996, and 2001 Censuses of Canada; and (ii) descriptive and multivariate analyses to examine characteristics associated with identifying as "Canadian." The trend analysis reveals large and statistically significant increases in identification as "Canadian." Several factors, inc…
Population dynamics in Germany
The effects of changes in rates of mortality, fertility, and migration depend not only on the age-specific patterns and levels of these rates, but on the age structure of the population. In order to remove the influences of the age structure and concentrate on the effects of the demographic rates themselves, a common practice is to analyze the influences of the rates for a standard age structure. This paper analyzes current and future population …
Intermariage, immigration et statistiques raciales aux États-Unis
L'idée de doter l'Union européenne d'un gouvernement économique se justifie maintenant que les missions de l'Union portent moins sur la coordination législative (fonctionnement du marché unique) que sur la coordination exécutive (définition d'une politique économique). Mais un "besoin de gouvernement" se manifeste aussi dans les autres domaines de l'intégration européenne (social, militaire, sécurité intérieure), sous forme d'une floraison anarch…

This report was prepared by the National Research Councils Panel on the Demographic and Economic Impacts of Immigration and concerns the economic demographic and fiscal effects of immigration to the United States. Three key questions are explored: What is the influence of immigration on the overall economy especially national and regional labor markets? What are the overall effects of immigration on federal state and local government budgets? [an…
Immigration and Ethnicity
Age at First Childbirth and Later Poverty
A linear structural equation model is used in this research study in order to estimate the simultaneous effects of age at first birth on a woman's subsequent socioeconomic conditions and related outcomes after the age of 27 years. Estimation was accomplished with a variant of Amemiya's principle and a feasible generalized least squares estimator. Analysis involved examination of the bivariate relationship between age at first birth and poverty at…
Immigration and Ethnicity in National Population Projections
A new demographic model for population projections is proposed that incorporates immigration under conditions of fertility and mortality. The model incorporates a foreign-born 1st 2nd 3rd 4th and higher generations and the empirical description of intergenerational births. The next century of population growth rates and their composition for the Asian black Hispanic and white non-Hispanic populations are compared within the total US population. T…
Undocumented Migration to the United States
Undocumented Migration to the United States
The authors rely on several different data sources to tackle the problem of estimating whether IRCA has had an impact on illegal immigration to the United States, and employ a variety of approaches to tease out information on trends. Some present results based on data collected in Mexico, the single most important source country--important as a supplement to get a complete picture of changing patterns of illegal immigration
Interruption of breastfeeding by child death and pregnancy
This paper estimates the mean monthly losses and proportionate interruptions of breastfeeding intervals due to child death and pregnancy. The paper uses a microanalytic model with stochastic risks for the basic processes of human reproduction. The model results show that a high proportion of women, depending upon mortality level and length of breastfeeding, have their breastfeeding interrupted by either child death or pregnancy. The results of th…

Effects of age misstatement on the utility of age-dependent anthropometric indicators of nutritional status in rural Bangladesh
We report the effects of age error on use of weight-for-age and height-for-age for assessing and screening malnutrition, and for identifying factors of malnutrition in 679 children aged 22-59 months in Companiganj, in rural Bangladesh. Overreporting and random error in age and correlation of age error with each of the anthropometric indices are observed. As a result, the proportion of children having less than or equal to 60 per cent of median we…
Urban Form in Canada and the United States

Age Misstatement for Young Children in Rural Bangladesh
Age data for 3,393 children, six years of age and under, in rural Bangladesh are analyzed for the level and pattern of age misstatement. Random error, age heaping at whole years, and preferences for particular ages are found in the data. Variation in age reporting is discovered to increase monotonically with age. Systematic errors in age misstatement display modest overstatement for the first four years of life and more pronounced understatement …

Community variations in infant and child mortality in Peru
Data from the national Peru Fertility Survey are used to estimate infant and childhood mortality ratios, 1968--77, for 124 Peruvian communities, ranging from small Indian hamlets in the Andes to larger cities on the Pacific coast. Significant mortality variations are found: mortality is inversely related to community population size and is higher in the mountains than in the jungle or coast. Multivariate analysis is then used to assess the influe…

Is Suburbanization Slowing Down? Recent Trends in Population Deconcentration in U.S. Metropolitan Areas
After several decades of population deconcentration in American metropolitan areas, examination of 1970 to 1975 data suggests tentatively that deconcentration has not recently slackened. Population deconcentration or suburbanization has not reversed, and there is no evidence of faster growth in central cities than in suburban areas. This study uses demographic data on over 200 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (smsas) in 1970 and 1975, comp…

A Demographic Approach to Teacher Supply and Demand
Data for the period 1934 to 1978 are presented in order to illustrate a demographic model of the demand for and supply of public elementary and secondary school teachers in the United States and to describe the supply of teachers related to fertility changes. The analysis reveals that there has been remarkable adaptability of the educational system, considering the strikingly rapid changes in the number of students, but that the current situation…
Fertility Decline and Socioeconomic Change in Venezuela
Venezuela has experienced significant economic development during recent decades, although rapid population growth has partially offset economic gains. During the five-year period 1969-1973, the gross national product increased at an annual rate of 5.0 percent, which, coupled with population growth, yielded real per capita increases of 2.6 percent annually. Relatively smooth transition in the nationalization of the Venezuelan oil industry in 1976…

Variaciones en diferentes comunidades en mortalidad infantil y durante la lactancia en Perú
Las últimas décadas han sido testigo de un importante cambio en el pensamiento acerca de la salud y las enfermedades: ha habido un movimiento sorprendente en el sentido de considerar las enfermedades dentro de un esquema ecológico más amplio, así como una tendencia a describir el tratamiento de las enfermedades en términos tecnológicos únicamente. Este cambio en el enfoque de la salud ha ocurrido durante un período en que las metas para el desarr…
Demographic and Maternal Correlates of Infant and Child Mortality in Bangladesh
This paper analyses the influence of maternal factors (mother's age, parity, prior birth interval, and subsequent birth interval) on mortality risk for 2150 Bangladeshi infants and children, taking the sex and age of the child into account. Logistic regression estimates from retrospective maternal birth histories for the period 1966–75 reveal age and sex patterns consistent with previous research. These estimates also demonstrate that there are a…
