Fertility Patterns of Hispanic Migrant Farm Women: Testing the Effect of Assimilation.

Slesinger, Doris P.; Okada, Yoshitaka

Rural Sociology, v49 n3 p430-40 Fall 1984

A 1978 study of 262 migrant Hispanic farm women in Wisconsin showed they have greater numbers of children at younger ages, greater infant mortality, and use fewer contraceptive techniques. These patterns will continue until level of education improves for the children, thus increasing bilingual capacity and improving occupational opportunities. (NEC)
