Migration and the Demand for Developmental Disabilities Services
Synthetic estimation techniques are used to project the number of developmentally disabled persons in Florida in the year 2000. This yields an idea of the future number of these persons if migration continues at its current pace. Next, the population is projected on the assumption that no net migration occurs in the future and the same prevalence rates are applied to that projection. The difference in the number of persons with developmental disa…

Pregnancy Wantedness and Maternal Behavior During Pregnancy
This analysis tests the proposition that women wanting their pregnancies and subsequent births behave differently during their pregnancies than other women. The data are drawn from the National Natality Survey conducted by the US National Center for Health Statistics a follow-back survey based on a probability sample of 9941 live births that occurred in the US in 1980. A sample of 7825 remained after exclusion of out-of-wedlock births. Pregnancy …

The Population of the South
This book consists of 10 papers on demographic structure and change in the southern region of the United States. The present convergence of demographic patterns in the South with those of the rest of the country is traced and the question of future convergence or differentiation is considered. Papers are included on general demographic change fertility mortality migration population redistribution between 1970 and 1975 the metropolitan system ind…
The Population of the South
The differential attainment of family size goals by Race
The 1973 U.S. National Survey of Family Growth is used to examine the effects of removing number and timing failures from the reproductive histories of various cohorts of white and black married women. Blacks are more fertile than whites primarily because of their greater unwanted fertility. Removing number and timing failures from the past reproductive histories of American women would have reduced their fertility considerably. These reductions …
Wife’s employment and cumulative family size in the United States, 1970 and 1960
Using a multiple classification analysis of the data from the I percent public-use samples of the 1960 and 1970 censuses of population, it is found that the negative relationship between wives’ employment and their cumulative family size is stronger among whites than nonwhites and is strongest among women married less than 10 years, with 12 or more years of schooling, and who have no relatives living with them. Moreover, although there are many s…

The Structural Assimilation of In-Migrants to Lima, Peru
The Structural Assimilation of In-Migrants to Lima, Peru
The rate of urban growth is extremely high in many less developed countries particularly in Latin America and tends to be more pronounced in the large metropolitan areas than in the smaller urban centers. This rapid growth is attributable to three factors: the growth and subsequent reclassification of previously smaller communities a positive rate of reproductive change among the already existing urban population and massive in-migration (Weller …
Excess and deficit fertility in the United States, 1965
When desired family size is larger than expected family size this has been termed deficit fertility; when desired family size is smaller than expected family size this has been termed excess fertility; and when the two coincide this has been termed congruent fertility. The source of data for this paper is the 1965 National Fertility Study. Analysis was confined to 3130 women who in 1965 were married (first marriage) who were aged 49 or younger wh…

"Some Comments on "The Changing South
The three R's
Survey research data collected in Rhode Island over a three year interval are used to test six propositions: 1) Suburbanites have higher family size than central city residents. 2) Any differences in family size between Catholics and non-Catholics are larger in central city than in suburban areas. 3) Within religious categories, suburbanites attend church more regularly. 4) Among Catholics, suburban residence is associated with less frequent Comm…
The relative importance of the components of urban growth in Latin America
Four generalizations are made. 1/ Despite the varying interpretations made by the respective authors, previous studies indicate that urban growth in Latin America is caused by both rural-urban migration and a positive rate of urban natural increase. Thus to ascribe Latin American urban growth to a single prime causal factor is a misleading oversimplification. 2/ Net in-migration apparently plays a larger role in determining the rate of growth of …

Occupational Employment Patterns for 1960 and 1975
The Employment of Wives, Dominance, and Fertility
Using survey data collected in predominantly lowerand middle-income neighborhoods of San Juan, Puerto Rico, the author tests three propositions. (1) Participation in the labor force is associated with increased influence by the wife in family decision-making, particularly with respect to having additional children. (2) This increased influence in decision-making is associated with lower fertility among working women. (3) The negative relationship…

Female working roles and fertility
Using survey data gathered in Turkey in 1963, the relationship between female employment status and fertility is examined. Controlling for urban-rural residence, education, and exposure to conception within marriage, no differences in fertility by labor force status appear. Although there is a slightly greater tendency for employed than for non-employed women to hold attitudes more favorable to small families and family size limitation, the obser…
