Peer reviewedStephen, Elizabeth Hervey; Bean, Frank D. – International Migration Review, 1992
Using 1980 and 1980 census data, tests hypotheses about the effects of adaptation, assimilation, and disruption on Mexican-origin women's fertility. Fertility declines with greater length of familial exposure to the United States, suggesting that fertility behavior of Mexican Americans will come to resemble that of the general population. (SLD)
