Gender Gap in Mental Health during the Covid-19 Pandemic in South Korea
The economic and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been widespread but unevenly distributed among genders. The pandemic may have also affected men's and women's mental health differently. This study examined whether the pandemic had stronger adverse effects on women's mental health than on that of men given that the decline of the labor market was greater for women than for men. Using data from South Korea (June/September/December 2020…
Sources of Support for Immigration Restriction
Are attitudes toward Latinos associated with public views of immigration policies more generally? In this study, we examine whether measures of derogation, disrespect, and discomfort toward Latinos shape support for restrictive immigration policies. We analyze the opinions of Anglo (non-Hispanic White) and African American respondents from the 2000 National Opinion Research Center (NORC) General Social Survey (GSS), which contained a special modu…
Does Anti-Hispanic Bias Motivate Opposition to Non-English Languages
Contemporary political debates about language policy in the United States focus on three primary policy issues: bilingual education in public schools, English-only legislation, and the access of non-English speaking citizens to political rights. Using the 'Multi-Ethnic United States' module from the 2000 General Social Survey (GSS), this article tests multiple attitudinal, behavioral, demographic, and contextual hypotheses for how Anglos and Afri…
Metropolitan residential segregation and very preterm birth among African American and Mexican-origin women
Coresident Extended Kin and Time Allocation Among Employed Mothers in Mexico
The proportion of mothers living without male partners is growing fast in Mexico, and time is a valuable resource determining their quality of life. Using the 2002 Mexican Family Life Survey ( N = 1,818), the author examined the effects of coresident extended household members on time allocation by employed mothers. Results indicate that female extended kin have greater influence than male kin on the time allocation of single mothers in Mexico. F…
The Contact Hypothesis and Attitudes Toward L atinos in the U nited S tates
Objectives Although the contact hypothesis occupies an important place in the study of intergroup relations, several important questions remain understudied. We contribute to the literature by examining the associations between multiple aspects of contact with L atinos and several types of attitudes toward U . S . Latinos, including attitudes toward immigration restrictions. Methods We use OLS and logistic regression techniques to analyze the opi…
Unraveling The Economic Paradox of Female-Headed Households in Mexico
An extensive amount of research has shown that female-headed households are among the most disadvantaged in the United States. By contrast, households headed by single mothers in Mexico have median per capita income levels that are the same or higher than those headed by men and are no more likely to be living in poverty. These findings are surprising, given the many disadvantages that Mexican women face in the labor market and the added difficul…
Child Health in Peru
In developing countries, height and weight are good indicators of children's health and nutritional status. Maternal education has been accepted as one of the most important influences on child health. Using the 2000 Demographic and Health Survey of Peru, however, I find that the effect of maternal education varies as a function of region. In the most prosperous urban region, maternal education is less important for child health than in poor rura…
