Rates of food insecurity in the US have been rising since 2000 spiking with the onset of the Great Recession in 2008, and have remained essentially unchanged since then despite improvements in the economy. The present study employed a series of indices adapted from the poverty literature to examine the depth and severity of food insecurity across the decade by race and ethnicity among low-income households with and without children. The most rapid increases in the depth and severity of food insecurity were found among low-income households without children. Non-Hispanic White households with and without children had lower prevalence rates but steeper increases in the depth and severity of food insecurity throughout the decade. Non-Hispanic Black households with and without children were at the most disadvantaged among low-income populations. 相似文献

This paper presents the results of an ecological analysis of the relationship between infant mortality and economic status
in metropolitan Ohio for the period 1960–2000. The data examined are centered on the five censuses undertaken during this
40-year period. The basic unit of analysis is the census tract of mother’s usual residence, with economic status being determined
by the percentage of low income families living in each tract. For each of the five periods covered, census tracts were aggregated
into broad income areas and three-year average infant mortality rates were computed for each area, by age, sex, race and exogenous-endogenous
causes of death. The most important conclusion to be drawn from the data is that in spite of some very remarkable declines
in infant mortality at all class levels since 1960, there continues to be a very clear and pronounced inverse association
between income status and infant mortality. Indeed, the evidence indicates that the relationship has become stronger over
the years. These observations are applicable for both sexes, for whites and nonwhites, for neonatal and postneonatal deaths,
and for both major cause of death groups. It is concluded that while public health programs are important, any progress in
narrowing this long-standing differential is unlikely unless ways can be found to enhance the economic well-being of the lower
socioeconomic groups. 相似文献

This article brings attention to a structural dimensions of the schooling context that may affect the incorporation of immigrant youths. Using administrative data about students in California public schools, we found that Spanish-speaking, limited English-proficient (LEP) children have become increasingly more likely to attend schools with low-income, minority, and LEP students than other non-LEP and LEP groups. Nearly all the change in school composition can be attributed to statewide shifts in the composition of the school-aged population. But compositional changes have disproportionately occurred in schools attended by Spanish-speaking LEP students as a result of district-level patterns of segregation by income, race/ethnicity, and language. 相似文献

During the last decade there has been a dramatic increase in the both the number and the rate of Mexican naturalization. Some have interpreted this increase as a response to changes in welfare and immigration policy surrounding the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), which limited public assistance to non‐citizens, and the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), which may have increased the incentive to naturalize by making it more difficult for legal immigrants to sponsor their relatives for entry to the United States. This article uses Current Population Survey data from 1994/95 and 2000/01 to examine how the social and economic determinants of naturalization may have changed in order to provide insight into which explanation for the increase in naturalizations is most relevant. We find that while the proportion of Mexican immigrants who are naturalized increased during the 1990s, their determinants have remained largely the same with the exception that those with noncitizen spouses have become more likely to be naturalized in the post‐reform period. This suggests that a more cautious interpretation be taken about the relationship between the increase in naturalizations and welfare and sponsorship restrictions, particularly when regarding Mexican immigrants. 相似文献

The public concern that immigrant families might be using a disproportionate share of social benefits and transmitting some
form of public dependency to their children, combined with the rising levels of immigrants entering the country, fueled the
passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act in 1996, which limited public assistance to
many immigrant families. This paper uses the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 to explore the association between
exposure to welfare and young adult outcomes of high school graduation, college enrollment and labor force participation with
a focus on parental nativity status as well as broad country of origin group. Results indicate a persistent negative association
between welfare legacy and high school graduation; a negative association that is most pronounced for children of natives.
Results also show the largest positive effect of welfare receipt among the most disadvantaged group, the young adult children
of immigrants from Mexican and Central American countries. The main finding of this study suggests that the negative impacts
of welfare receipt might be lessened and in some cases reversed among the young adults from immigrant families. Such findings
challenge the common notion that immigrant families use welfare as a crutch across generations and raise serious concern about
U.S. immigration and welfare policies. 相似文献
