DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Social demographic models addressing the effects of immigration typically focus on the settlement and adaptation processes of different immigrant groups. Empirical evidence on the migration behavior of the US's dominant immigrant-contributing country, Mexico, indicates that a more complex process must be understood. Because return and repeat migration is so prevalent, the processes of Mexican migration demand an understanding that extends to the emigration and return migration of US-born children of Mexican-born migrants. The very large growth in numbers of such second-generation immigrant children raises questions as fundamental as to what extent has there been or will there be a transformation of the Mexico-US process from one of sojourning labor migration to settling family migration. The objectives of this study are first to estimate the prevalence of emigration and return migration to the US throughout childhood and adolescence; and second to understand how education of mother and child are associated with this migration. Where migration is associated with separation of mother and child, this is further explored. US birth registrations identifying Mexican-born mothers and US and Mexican 1990 and 2000 census micro-data are used together to estimate a two-region migration model for US-born male and female children of Mexican-born women, and to compare migration and education relationships over the decades of the 1980s and 1990s. US birth registrations into the 2000s are used with the models of childhood migration and development estimated for the 1980s and 1990s to understand the sources of new changes to the migration and education process of US-born children in the US-Mexico migration system. Differences in educational attainment of these US-born children according to whether they stay in the US or return to Mexico during childhood are explored, as is the relationship of mother's educational attainment and age. In this way, the inter-generational education association is studied as a complex process involving not only direct inter- generational educational associations but also indirectly through the intervening process of international migration. The study contributes to developing a better understanding the future impact of Mexican immigration and to a fuller understanding of the processes of emigrant selection and family disruption that are needed to understand the health consequences for children of Mexican migrant experience in the US.

描述（由申请人提供）：解决移民影响的社会人口模型通常集中在不同移民群体的定居和适应过程上。关于美国占主导地位移民侵占国家迁移行为的经验证据表明，必须理解一个更复杂的过程。由于返回和重复移民非常普遍，因此墨西哥移民的过程需要一种理解，该理解扩展到了墨西哥出生的移民的我们出生的儿童的移民和返回移民。此类第二代移民儿童数量的大量增长提出了有关墨西哥-US进程的转变，从一个居民的劳动迁移到解决家庭迁移，这引起了基本问题。这项研究的目标首先是估计移民的流行并在整个童年和青春期返回到美国的流行；其次是了解母子的教育与这种迁移的关系。在迁移与母子分离有关的地方，进一步探讨了这一点。美国出生的登记识别出生于墨西哥出生的母亲以及我们和墨西哥1990年和2000年人口普查微数据，用于估算墨西哥出生妇女的美国男性和女性子女的两区移民模型，并比较1980年代和1990年代的几十年中的移民和教育关系。美国的出生注册到2000年代，与1980年代和1990年代估计的儿童迁移和发展模型一起使用，以了解美国 - 墨西哥移民系统中美国出生儿童的移民和教育过程的新变化来源。这些出生于美国儿童的教育成就差异是根据他们留在美国还是在童年时期返回墨西哥的差异，母亲的教育成就和年龄的关系也是如此。这样，将代际教育协会研究为一个复杂的过程，不仅涉及直接世代相传的教育协会，而且还通过国际移民的间隔过程间接地进行了研究。这项研究有助于更好地理解墨西哥移民的未来影响，并更深入地了解移民选择和家庭中断过程，这是了解美国对墨西哥移民经历的健康后果所需的健康后果。
