Immigration and changing patterns of extended family household structure in the United States: 1970-1990

Article Abstract:

A study examined how shifts in immigration volume and composition have aided in the increase in the number of US citizens living in extended family households and in the broadening chasm between immigrants and natives. Findings revealed that immigration is only partially accountable for greater extended-living arrangements in the total population. However, the widening immigrant-native differential during the 1980s was the result of greater horizontally extended households among immigrants, primarily among Mexican, Salvadoran and Guatemalan immigrants.
