“…Latino/a-white residential segregation is higher in new destinations than in established gateways (Hall 2013;Lichter et al 2010), and non-Latino whites have out-migrated from areas experiencing rapid growth of immigrants (Crowder et al 2011;Hall and Crowder 2014). The receptivity climate-that is, attitudes of U.S. citizens toward immigrants-is also more unfavorable, on average, in new versus established destinations (De Jong et al 2017).…”

This study examined differences in exposure to early childhood education among Mexican-origin children across Latino/a destinations. Early childhood educational enrollment patterns, which are highly sensitive to community resources and foundational components of long-term educational inequalities, can offer a valuable window into how destinations may be shaping incorporation among Mexican-origin families. Integrating data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort with county-level data from the decennial census, multilevel logistic regression models revealed that Mexican-origin, black, and white children had lower odds of enrollment in early childhood education programs if they lived in new Latino/a destinations versus established destinations. The negative association between new destinations and early childhood education enrollment persisted despite controls for household selectivity, state and local early childhood education contexts, Latino/a educational attainment, Latino-white residential segregation, and immigration enforcement agreements. Within the Mexican-origin subgroup, the enrollment gap between new and established destinations was widest among the least-acculturated families, as measured by parental nativity, duration of residence, citizenship status, and English proficiency. These findings highlight how both place and acculturation stratify outcomes within the large and growing Mexican-origin subset of the Latino/a population.

“…We then compare trends in child poverty across immigrant generations using the SPM (Figure 2b), which is particularly pertinent given disparities in employment, place of residence, and program eligibility and use across the populations of interest (De Jong et al 2017;De Trinadad Young et al 2018). Our comparison yields at least two important findings.…”

BACKGROUND Recent increases in ethno-racial diversity in the United States are paralleled by growing representation of first-and second-generation immigrants, especially among children. Socioeconomic inequalities along the lines of immigrant generation, race, and ethnicity suggest such demographic changes may result in greater disparities among recent, more-diverse cohorts of children. OBJECTIVE Describe poverty rates among US children across five immigrant generation groups, using the US government's official poverty measure (OPM) and a supplemental poverty measure (SPM), which accounts for government transfers and costs of living. METHODS Using data from the Current Population Survey and historical SPM estimates from 1993-2016, we describe trends in child poverty, stratified by immigrant generation. We compare estimates of inter-generational differences and temporal changes based on the OPM and SPM, and we conduct stratified analyses for Hispanic and Asian children. RESULTS We find persistent differences in poverty rates between immigrant generations. Firstgeneration non-citizens and second-generation children with two foreign-born parents have consistently higher poverty rates than other generations, between which there are minimal disparities. Differences between OPM-and SPM-based estimates suggest public supports and costs of living have differential welfare effects across groups. CONTRIBUTION We provide a historical record of child poverty differentials across immigrant

“…Consequently, city dwellers can blame newcomers for the lack of jobs, which can increase interethnic intolerance . Based on data on 380 local US labor markets for 1995-2010, the results of the study show that, given the annual unemployment rate, the educational level of immigrants and the local population over the past decade and the annual level of anti-immigrant sentiment, attitudes towards immigrants are more negative in those places where the unemployment rate is higher (De Jong et al ., 2017) . It is worth noting that the identified impact is evident only for those places that have recently become the destination of immigrants .…”

This work is devoted to the study of the impact of urban development on interethnic intolerance . Although studies on the impact of urbanization and the economic well-being of cities on interethnic intolerance have been conducted in other countries, no similar scientific work has been conducted in Russia . The purpose of this paper is to determine factors related to urban development that influence the level of interethnic intolerance in a Russian city and to clarify the nature of this influence . The assumption of the presence of such an influence is based on the fact that the comfort of the urban environment can play the role of an indicator of economic well-being, while the exacerbation of social conflicts during periods of economic instability is scientifically substantiated . This influence is studied using an econometric study on a sample of 66 Russian cities with a population of over 100 thousand people, where 2 or more crimes motivated by interethnic intolerance were committed during the period 2007-2019 . The information base for the study was obtained from the website of the SOVA Center for Information and Analysis, the statistical databases of Rosstat and EMISS, and the official website of the urban environment quality index . Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that interethnic intolerance is reduced due to a comfortable urban environment . Also, according to the study, in more populated Russian cities the level of interethnic intolerance is higher, whereas the incomes of city residents reduce it .
