New Yorkers Speak Up: Community Perspectives on Improving Healthcare Experiences in New York City
A comparative study of successful aging in three Asian countries
Geographic morbidity differentials in the late nineteenth-century United States
We use a national cross-sectional database, the 1880 Integrated Public Use Microdata Sample, to examine aggregate patterns and individual-level estimates of chronic-disease morbidity and long-term disability in the United States in the late nineteenth century. Despite higher levels of urban mortality in 1880, morbidity prevalence rates were highest in the rural areas of the country, especially in the western and the southern regions. Equations us…

Migration and Household/Family Structure: Puerto Ricans in the United States
The analyses in this research were intended to demonstrate the advantages of utilizing microdata from [U.S.] census sources for examining migration status and related household and family structures. By asking for the self-identification of ethnic origin, in this case Spanish/Hispanic origin, a census is able to trace not only first generation migrants by different durations of residence, but also later generations. The flexibility afforded by mi…
Demographic Consequences of Migration Trends in Puerto Rico: 1950 – 1980
This paper examines the evolution and changes in migration patterns [in Puerto Rico] through the 1970's based on data from the 1980 census. The focus is on demographic consequences of migration, particularly with regard to population growth, redistribution and changing age structure." A final section is concerned with the socioeconomic implications of migration. (summary in FRE, SPA)
The duration of residence approach to a dynamic stochastic model of internal migration: A test of the axiom of cumulative inertia
The data presented indicate a definite trend that tends to support the axiom of cumulative inertia. The probabilities of movement decline by increasing duration of residence for each year. Not only is information on duration of residence an important element in any study of migration, but it also provides a necessary modification for the Markov chain approach to migration probabilities. Future studies of the mathematical model will require data t…
Fécondité et mobilité en Amérique latine
Myers George. - Fécondité et mobilité en Amérique latine. L'utilisation de six enquêtes menées par le CELADE dans divers pays d'Amérique latine, permet d'éclairer les liens entre fécondité et migration. Bien que la fécondité des migrantes vers les villes soit plus élevée que celle des citadines, cela ne peut pas être attribuée à une fécondité plus élevée avant la migration. En fait ce n'est qu'après leur installation en milieu urbain que les migr…

Cohort disaggregation analysis of fertility data from a sample survey
Social differentials in cumulative fertility revealed by field surveys in a number of countries typically have been interpreted with the implicit assumption that the timing of childbearing within the reproductive period remains constant. However, the reproductive histories that have been collected in such surveys provide a largely unexploited source of data for the analysis of trends in timing. An analysis by birth cohort of the fertility experie…

The Migration Experience of New York Puerto Ricans: A Perspective on Return
Prospective return migrants to Puerto Rico and prospective permanent residents in New York are examined with respect to a number of factors that relate to their return migration choice, such as ties with Puerto Rico and visits back to the island. Although the significance of the study is reduced by the small sample used, the important question raised of how to identify prospective return migrants should certainly stimulate further research. In fa…
Migration and fertility in Puerto Rico
In an investigation based on special tabulations of the 25 per cent sample from the 1960 Census of Population for Puerto Rico, it is found that migration experience tends to be associated with fertility for various marital statuses, including consensual unions, and for rural, urban and metropolitan residence. The findings cannot be attributed to variations in age composition among the various categories as age standardization and age-specificcomp…

Population dynamics of an atoll community
A 1960 census of population for Ulithi atoll in Micronesia permits comparison with a prior enumeration conducted in 1949. During the intercensal period, a marked increase in population is noted, reversing a long-term trend of depopulation for the atoll community. Data on mortality, fertility, migration, and family structure are presented to examine changes in the population balance. The conclusions of the study lend support to a previous contenti…

Labor Force Participation of Suburban Mothers
Maternal employment reflects an important aspect of the emerging type of family found in suburban areas. This study reports on data from a sample survey of 947 junior and senior high school students for three suburban school districts of Seattle, Washington. Attention is directed toward such factors associated with mothers working as type of suburban area in which the family resides, father's occupational level, educational level of the mother, a…

Patterns of Church Distribution and Movement
Three well-established generalizations of church ecology are re-evaluated with Seattle Standard Metropolitan Area data on distribution and movement of churches by the major faiths, and four functional types of Protestant churches. Principal findings are: (1) Distinctive distributional patterns for geographical and social areas characterize the various religious categories. (2) Church spatial movement appears not to be as important a mode of adjus…
