Abstract: | Individual level differentials between migrants and nonmigrants are examined to ascertain the likelihood of return migration
to a prior residence based on characteristics at the time of departure from place of origin. Analysis focuses on comparisons
of Hispanics, blacks and whites, examining the odds of return migration by education, employment status, marital status, home
ownership, length of residence, gender, age, and migration interval. The 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79)
is utilized to identify 13,798 preliminary migrations that may be followed by at least one return migration. Findings indicate
a sharp decline in propensity to return migrate as length of absence from origin increases. Regardless of length of time since
the preliminary migration, both blacks and Hispanics are more likely to return migrate than are whites. Individuals who resided
at place of origin for longer periods before leaving had strikingly higher odds for return migration. |
