Incorporating Origin and Process in Migration-Fertility Frameworks: The Case of Puerto Rican Women.
Singley, Susan G.; Landale, Nancy S.
Social Forces, v76 n4 p1437-64 Jun 1998
Life history data from both origin and destination areas were used to examine the relationship between migration and fertility among Puerto Rican women. Migration to the U.S. mainland had opposite effects on childbearing for single versus married or cohabiting women. For all migrants, migration played an integral part in the family formation process. Contains 32 references. (Author/SV)
