title: Migration decisions among settler families in the Ecuadorian Amazon: the second generation.
abstract: 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."
