Children's Residential Mobility and Neighborhood Environment following Parental Divorce and Remarriage.
South, Scott J.; Crowder, Kyle D.; Trent, Katherine
Social Forces, v77 n2 p667-93 Dec 1998
Longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics show that parental divorce sharply increases probabilities that children will move out of their neighborhoods and will move to poorer neighborhoods. These outcomes are especially pronounced for African Americans and children whose parents were previously homeowners. Remarriage also has child-mobility outcomes. Contains 68 references. (Author/SV)
