Network on Child Migration seeks to bridge this gap by providing an intellectual framework and creating an infrastructure for supporting high- For more information on the CRCW, please see quality research on children with migration http://crcw.princeton.edu backgrounds.
The network began with a conference convened by Marta Tienda and Sara McLanahan and funded by 1 The ISI Web of Knowledge combines citation information the Rockefeller Foundation. The conference was from top journals to produce an annual citation report. This held in Bellagio, Italy in 2008 and brought 5-year ranking report offers an objective means to evaluate together 22 researchers from seven different the world's leading journals based on citations in other journals. Since coming to Princeton/Brookings, The Future of countries and four continents with expertise on Children has improved in all three categories. either migration or child wellbeing. A follow-up conference was held at Princeton University in the summer of 2009 with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation and PIIRS. In 2010, Tienda, McLanahan and Alicia Adsera were successful in securing funds from Princeton’s Council for International Teaching and Research to continue the Network. The funds will provide three years of support to convene interdisciplinary teams of researchers from six research hubs with the overarching goal of fostering cross-national comparative research about wellbeing of children and youth with migration backgrounds. In 2010 Marta Tienda and post doc Kate Choi travelled to four different countries to develop the depth of the network and the overall goals of the project itself. The trip resulted in the creation of an Italian hub, a conference in Barcelona, Spain in June, 2011 and a new project; a volume of the Annals for 2012 publication.
The Network has grown to include a consortium of research centers located in six countries with large and growing foreign-born populations. These include the four largest immigrant receiving nations (all Anglophone nations)–Australia, Canada, UK and US—as well as two European nations – Italy and Spain – which were formerly immigrant sending nations and which have become, within the last two decades or so, immigrant host nations. The overarching goal of the network is to foster cross-national comparative research about the wellbeing of children and youth

Transnational Immigrant Organizations
The motivation behind this project is highlighted by the relative dearth of knowledge about major immigrant populations in the United States and Western Europe. Comparable directories of Chinese, Indian or Vietnamese organizations in America are nonexistent, nor are the activities or potential influence in sending countries known. The primary aims of this project are to develop a network of research on transnational immigrant organizations that stimulates comparative studies in other countries and thus allows for systematic comparisons of the origins and effects if immigrant organizations cross-nationally. Networks have been created to include researchers from the United Kingdom, Netherlands and Spain as well as Latin American researchers contributing work on Colombian, Mexican and Nicaraguan transnational organizations. A conference will be planned for the Spring of 2011 at Princeton and will include representation from Russell Sage Foundation, which has consistently supported the CMD’s work on transnational immigrant organizations and resulting political incorporation both in the United Stated and the sending countries.

In Marta Tienda’s paper, “A Tale of Two Counties: Perceptions and Attitudes Toward Immigrants in New Destinations,” co-authored with Kevin O’Neil and published in International Migration Review, the authors analyze a representative survey from a pair of matched counties in North Carolina to compare native residents’ attitudes and perceptions toward immigration, depending on whether their county has experienced recent growth of its foreign-born population. They formulate testable hypotheses derived from several theoretical perspectives, including group threat, contact theory, and symbolic politics. They find only narrow evidence that competition and threat play a role in opinion formation. The authors show modest support for claims that parents with school-aged children harbor more negative views of immigration than their childless counterparts, but except for residents in precarious economic situations, these negative attitudes appear unrelated to the immigrant composition of the community. They find limited support for claims that the media promotes negative views of immigration, but no evidence that this relationship is moderated by local immigration. They also present suggestive evidence that superficial contact between natives and immigrants outside the work context are conductive to anti-immigration sentiments, while

Her research households respond to social pressure to bury interests include the healthy migrant effect, the their dead in a style consistent with the observed role of public antiretroviral programs as attractors social status of the household and that of the of returning migrants in poor health, and health deceased. Households that cannot afford a funeral care use in the transition to adulthood. commensurate with social expectations must borrow money to pay for the funeral. The model leads to empirical tests where they find results consistent with our model of household decision- making.
The second part of this work also deals with mortality in this DSA, but it is concerned with how well subjective measures of health predict future deaths in the region. While self-assessments of health (SAH) are widely employed in epidemiological research, most of the evidence on the predictive power that underlies their popularity originates in the developed world. With the HIV pandemic affecting largely prime age individuals, the conclusions derived from previous work might not be relevant for the younger at-risk groups in our region of interest. They found that the effect of SAH on subsequent mortality is strong for deaths within four and six years of follow-up. Six years from baseline, however, this strong association disappears once HIV status is controlled for.
In the final chapter of this dissertation, they use the previously described self-assessments of health to explore the existence of a health selectivity effect among migrants leaving the DSA, and produce a theoretical framework to understand the sources of this selection. In their model, individuals and households are financially constrained and decide whether or not to migrate based on the gains of wage arbitrage. They use this model to derive basic predictions about the effect of individual and household health on the individual probability of migration. The results confirm the predictions of the model, and offer evidence on the existence of positive health selection of migrants.
