  • Propensity of white women in the United States to adopt children

    Dudley L Poston, Ruth M CullenARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology1989Cited by: 1References: 8

    Demographically, adoption is a relatively rare event. In 1982, only 2.3 per cent (or about 650,000) of ever-married white women aged 15 to 44 had adopted one or more children. Adoption is an important and very relevant means of family formation for many women, particularly those for whom biological childbearing is difficult or impossible. Although there is a modest literature on adoption behavior, we have very little information about women who h…

  • Log‐linear analyses of patterns of adoption behavior

    Dudley L Poston, Ruth M CullenARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology1986References: 9

    Absract This paper investigates the characteristics of U.S. white women who have adopted one or more children. A form of nonbiological parenthood such as adoption has received little attention in the social science literature. The paper examines those individual characteristics that are the most influential in accounting for variation in adoption behavior: age at interview, parity, and fecundity status. The main determinants of adoption have tend…

  • The Changing Demography of Spanish Americans

    A J Jaffe, Ruth M Cullen et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Development Review1982

    The authors present an analysis of the demographic and fertility characteristics along with summary economic traits for five Spanish-origin groups living in the United States. The groups are defined as Hispano Mexican Puerto Rican Cuban and Central and South American. The extent to which Hispanics are merging into the U.S. population as a whole is considered and the primary variables affecting that convergence are identified. Data are from the 19…

  • Fertility of the Puerto Rican Origin Population—Mainland United States and Puerto Rico

    Open AccessA J Jaffe, Ruth M CullenARTICLEInternational Migration Review1975Cited by: 1

    It has been commonly assumed that Puerto Rican women both here on the Mainland as well as on the Island have high fertility. It is true that Puerto Rican women have a large number of children if one looks only at the crude birth rate (i.e. the average number of children born per 100 women aged 15 to 44 years). In fact their fertility is significantly higher than that of the U.S. non-Spanish White population and about the same as that of the non-S…
