title: Variations in fertility and earning patterns among immigrants in the United States, 1970-1980:  assimilation or disruption?
abstract: "This paper examines the assimilation of immigrants in familial and economic fields.... Specific objectives are as follows:  (1) to describe fertility and earning patterns among immigrants to the United States in 1970-1980, from several countries of origin, and (2) to describe some effects of assimilation, human capital, and the dual labor market perspectives on immigrant earnings."  Findings vary in both fertility and economic categories for migrants depending on whether they are from developed or developing countries. (SUMMARY IN FRE AND SPA)
