Migration and Marriage among Puerto Rican Women.

Ortiz, Vilma

International Migration Review, v30 n2 p460-84 Sum 1996

Examines the effect of family indicators, including marriage, on migration from, and return to, Puerto Rico in the 1980s using data from surveys of 3,175 and 2,032 women. Single women apparently use migration to gain independence, but married women often follow men in the migration stream. (SLD)
