Mexican Population Growth in New US Destinations: Testing and Developing Social Capital Theories of Migration using Census Data
As the preferred theory for understanding international migration, social capital theory (SCT) structures current debate about Mexican population growth in new US metropolitan destinations. We review this literature to show that SCT does not cover the secondary migration of hundreds of thousands of Mexican migrants from traditional to new US metropolitan destinations. As a complement to previous SCT applications, we develop two hypotheses about t…
The Metropolitan Dispersion of Mexican Immigrants in the United States, 1980 to 2000
When networks coordinate a protracted, high-volume influx of low-wage immigrants, they focus on vulnerable people within a handful of reception localities. As a result, immigrants gradually saturate the high-volume network destinations, causing immigrants' rents to rise and their wages to fall. Deteriorated rent-to-wages ratios then impel the immigrants to disperse their settlement to non-traditional destinations where more favourable economic co…
Social Networks and Stratification in the Urban Chinese Labor Market: The Case of Laid-Off Textile Workers and Their Officials in the Tianjin Municipality
By what mechanisms has China's developing capitalist labor market been producing stratification patterns of reemployment and wage differences among laid-off workers in the late 1990s? Theoretical perspectives delineating state, market, and societal mechanisms are used to guide exploratory analyses of data from a sample of workers who were laid off from state-owned textile enterprises in the Tianjin municipality. Three findings are reported. First…

HIV/Aids in China: 1990–2001
Estimating China's Urban Unemployment Rate: Background, mechanics and an alternative
This paper opens by explaining the political processes that lie behind the definition and measurement of China's urban unemployment. Thereafter, it uses publicly available sources to replicate the inscrutable official urban unemployment estimate for the year 1997. Scholars widely critique the official estimate as under-counting the number of unemployed people, though it is less appreciated that official statistics also under-estimate the number o…
