Poverty

Black Immigrant, U.S.-born Black, and Nonblack Immigrant Families that are poverty stricken have different negative influence on their children.   This study focuses on the well-being of children in poverty stricken families.   It is hypothesized in this study that differences in economic assimilation between black and nonblack immigrant children result from disparities in parental human capital endowments and that these endowments will have weaker implications for poverty among black immigrants than among their nonblack counterparts.
In this study the subjects consisted of children and the children’s families that are poverty stricken.   Black Immigrant, U.S.-born Black, and Nonblack Immigrant Families with children are being studied and compared in this study.   A total of three groups gives a diverse study that was conducted.   The demographic area of the study is just within the United States and includes only any family in the United States.
In this study the researcher pulled data from the 2000 U.S. census to measure the amount of children that were in poverty.   Five percent sample was the U.S. census were taken to conduct the study.   In the census different races were compared.   The census compares families with children and how poverty varies in those different races that were in poverty.   There are four subjects being compared.   Family context was looked at first in the study.   This included young black children in immigrant and U.S.-born families and between black and nonblack children of immigrants.   The second thing that is looked at in the study is whether differences in the ethnic origins of black immigrant parents explain the disparities in child poverty between immigrant and U.S.-born blacks.   In the third goal the study uses the segmented assimilation theory.   In the third goal of the study the variations of child poverty by generational status is studied.   This is done to see if this “link” can be explained by race, ethnicity, and human capital....
