Increased migration to the sunbelt and the metropolitan-nonmetropolitan "turnaround" represent departures from longstanding redistribution trends. Although these patterns have been examined from a number of perspectives, their consequences for individiual metropolitan areas have not been brought to light. In the present study, stream-disaggregated…

To further an explanation of the post-1970 United States demographic phenomenon of increased population for non-metropolitan areas, the relationship of 3 ecological phenomena to non-metropolitan net migration rates between the 1960's and the 1970's is examined for a random stratified sample of 380 United States non-metropolitan counties (primarily…

Using data taken from the Migrant Student Record Transfer System, a study was undertaken to examine migrant student movement patterns for Region 1 of California's Migrant Education Program which includes eight counties located along the Pacific coast between Los Angeles and San Francisco. In 1977, 490 students entered Region 1 from another state;…

Region 2 of the California Migrant Education Program, located along the northern California coast and inland, includes 13 contiguous counties north of a line between San Francisco and Sacramento and the two counties in the northwest and northeast corners of the state. Using data extracted from the Migrant Student Record Transfer System, a study…

Analytical techniques developed by the University of Texas at Austin to deal with problems of forecasting future enrollments, instructional workloads, and funding levels are considered. In order to project university enrollments, Texas public high school graduates were projected. In-migration rates were separated from survival rates,…

Although the institutional structure of destination communities may remain unchanged by migration, the socioeconomic structure may be directly affected. Data from a statewide survey in Florida indicate that interstate migrants (who have lived in Florida less than 5 years), intrastate migrants (who have lived in Florida more than 5 years but in the…

RESULTS INDICATED A GENERAL LOWERING OF THE EDUCATIONAL LEVEL OF THE REGION WITH INMIGRANTS INTO THE SOUTH HAVING A LOWER LEVEL OF EDUCATION THAN INMIGRANTS INTO OTHER REGIONS, WHILE OUTMIGRANTS…

Trends toward zero population growth, more elderly drawing social security, racial polarization, changing migratory habits, and two-paycheck families will cause problems in planning educational policy. If present patterns of fertility and migration continue, society in the future may be very different from the present one. Educational policymakers…

The need for demographic research relevant to plans concerning adult education, day care, nursery care, and after-school services is increasing along with the demand for such services. Such demographic data are essential for the wise policymaking needed to build effective educational systems for the future. Present trends having an effect on…

A national survey analyzed migrant education programs during 1967. The objectives were to identify: (1) those school districts reporting migrant children under Title I, ESEA, (2) the number of school districts providing migrant education programs both during the regular school year and summer term, (3) the major curricular emphasis and grade…

This paper reviews issues pertaining to the relationship between child mortality and fertility and examines the fertility-mortality relationship of women who emigrated to Israel from various countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe and continued child bearing in Israel. Data from the 1961 Israel census of population is used. Among issues addressed in…

The differentials between Spanish origin and other ethnic groups of farm wageworkers were investigated by comparative analyses of age, sex, education, migratory status, employment, and earnings. Farmworkers were defined as persons 14 years and over in the civilian noninstitutional population who performed farm wagework at some time during 1973,…

This document presents a modified cohort survival model which can be of use in making enrollment projections. The model begins by analytically profiling an area's residents. Each person's demographic characteristics--sex, age, place of residence--are recorded in the computer memory. Four major input variables are then incorporated into the model:…
