title: [Households and families of migrants of Caribbean origin].
abstract: "Households and family patterns of Caribbean migrants in France [are] compared to those of three different populations:  first, to the non-migrants living in Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyane or Reunion; second, to the other migrants in France; third, to the French population of comparable socio-economic status (mainly employees and workers)....Several indicators, mainly drawn from the census of 1982 are used:  mean numbers of persons and of children per household, proportions of male-headed households, typology of households and families, [and] relationship of each member of the household to the head."  Cultural background and French citizenship are shown to be more closely associated with patterns of family size and characteristics than are socioeconomic factors. (SUMMARY IN ENG)
