abstract: 'This study contributes to the debates on both spatial mismatch and
|
|
|
|
``social-network{''''} mismatch by considering the independent effects of
|
|
|
|
spatial and social accessibility on the unemployment of less-educated
|
|
|
|
native-born black and immigrant women. These groups experience
|
|
|
|
relatively high unemployment yet differ in the hypothesized capacities
|
|
|
|
of their social networks. Using residential patterns and the by detailed
|
|
|
|
geographic census data matched to travel data, I calculated an
|
|
|
|
accessibility index to measure spatial job accessibility and used
|
|
|
|
information on neighborhood characteristics and household composition to
|
|
|
|
assess social accessibility. The results indicate that better spatial
|
|
|
|
accessibility to jobs is associated with lower unemployment among
|
|
|
|
native-born black and foreign-born Mexican and Vietnamese women; no
|
|
|
|
association was detected among the remaining immigrant groups. The
|
|
|
|
analysis yielded no empirical support for the advantages that residence
|
|
|
|
in an enclave may provide female immigrant residents in the form of
|
|
|
|
access to employment through social networks. In fact, the results point
|
|
|
|
to detrimental effects of residence in an ethnic enclave for
|
|
|
|
foreign-born Mexican and Vietnamese women. Finally, among all groups,
|
|
|
|
living with other employed adults significantly and substantively
|
|
|
|
decreased a woman''s likelihood of unemployment, indicating the
|
|
|
|
importance of household-based social accessibility for less-educated
|
|
|
|
native-born black and immigrant women''s employment outcomes.'
