Structural and assimilationist explanations of Asian American intermarriage

Article Abstract:

Researchers have sought to build on existing studies of Asian American intermarriage, improving them by using a more complete conceptual framework, widening the geographic and population coverage and undertaking a multivariate analysis. It was found that structural assimilation is negatively related to intermarriage, possibly an indication that Asian Americans who out-marry are negatively selected in socioeconomic terms. Asian intermarriage seems to be determined by factors linked with individual assimilation and by factors which operate at community level.

Individual-level data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and census data depicting the poverty status of single mothers' neighborhoods were analyzed. Findings showed that the chances of transferring to a better environment are increased by marriage and by getting a job. However, their chances are decreased by age and by home ownership.
