Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In an earlier paper, Espinosa and Rolison (1994) documented models of single female?head family formation for Blacks, Whites, and Hispanics in 1970, 1980, and 1990. A key finding was that the increase in such households, which peaked in 1990, was best explained for Whites by the neoconservative position, and for Blacks and Hispanics by the structuralist position. This paper extends that work by employing dynamic models to predict change in the dependent variables from 1970 to 1980, 1980 to 1990, and 1970 to 1990. Our findings evidence strong support for the structuralist position, especially with respect to Massey�s (1993) thesis that the residential segregation associated with the growth of single female-headed families largely resulted from depressed economic conditions within Black and Hispanic communities in larger urban settings. These and other findings are discussed in the context of the public policy underlying the 1996 Welfare Reform Act and its aftermath.
