title: Non-white migration patterns in northern metropolitan areas, 1960-1970:  the interaction between economic and affinitive factors.
abstract: "The principal objective of this article is to investigate the determinants of variation in the growth of non-white populations attributable to migration across northern [U.S.] metropolitan areas during the 1960s."  The investigation is done by means of a single equation framework model, which is applied to U.S. Bureau of the Census data.  The results indicate that "the migration-related growth of non-white populations in northern metropolitan areas during the 1960s was...importantly and directly associated both with the level of employment opportunities as measured by the proportion of the non-white population of labor force age officially employed in the mainstream economy of an SMSA and with the SMSA rate of net migration occurring over the preceding 10-year period, which indicates the role of chain migration."
