Abstract:
|
This study explores the relative impact of changing neighborhoods on children’s behavioral outcomes in both senses of the term: migration between neighborhoods and changes in a neighborhood's conditions. Rational behavior theory (Coleman, 1973; Becker, 1981; Sen, 1987), concentration theory (Wilson 1987), and social capital theory (Bourdieu 1983, Coleman, 1988, 1990; Portes, 1993) are used to motivate this study. Using data from “Welfare, Children, and Families: A Three-City Study (Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio),” this study analyzes mean differences between movers and non-movers, multivariate OLS regression models, and to address selection bias, first-differencing estimation is employed. A priori, the means analysis suggests that children from low-income families who migrate are more likely to have increased risk factors and elevated behavioral problems. Findings also indicate that increases in neighborhood problems are significantly related to increased behavioral problems, but that a family's migration to a new neighborhood is not associated with children's behavioral problems. |
