abstract: 'This study focuses on the impact of household composition, educational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attainment, and employment characteristics on household income for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Puerto Rican householders in New York and other areas of the United
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
States, from 1970 to 1980. New York householders had lower levels of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education in particular fewer college graduates, and lower labor force
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation. and a higher proportion of female-headed households.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although average household income declined for both groups. New York
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
householders had significantly lower incomes relative to those residing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
elsewhere. Regression standardization showed that. in 1980, the average
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
compositional characteristics of New York Puerto Ricans were ``less
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
favorable `` to household income. Further they received less income for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their average characteristics. when compared to householders not
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
residing in New York. It is suggested that the deteriorating economic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditions of Puerto Ricans is a result of joblessness and low-skilled,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
low-wage jobs among those employed. Industrial restructuring, low levels
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of education, and the dramatic growth of female-headed households also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
accounts for their depressed economic status and explains some of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differences in economic well-being between New York and non-New York
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
householders. Further, the problems of mainland Puerto Ricans have been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exacerbated by racial and ethnic discrimination.'
