Migration decisions among settler families in the Ecuadorian Amazon: the second generation.
The authors use survey data collected in 1990 from 418 household heads of recent settlements in the Ecuadorian Amazon to study the extent of and reasons for out-migration of the settlers' children. "Our research identifies the types and incidence of out-migration of young adults from settler households in the Ecuadorian Amazon, as well as the effects of individual and household-level factors of out-migration.  Important gender differences in both the levels and patterns of migration and in the factors affecting migration decisions are documented."
