My earlier research, summarized in Old Age and the Search for
Security (Indiana, 1994), focused on social security, retirement,
and the circumstances of the American elderly. More recently I
have studied immigration and migration, particularly among Mexican
Americans and Hispanics, examining changes in family structure
over long periods of time. I was a NIH Senior Fellow, Population
Research Center, at the University of Texas at Austin, in 1996-1997.
This fellowship led to new estimates of the size of the Hispanic
population and its subgroups from 1850 to 2000. I have since received
support from NICHD for study of the assimilation trajectories of
the children of immigrants and from NIA for research on the household
characteristics of immigrant-origin older persons. In addition
to these projects I have an active interest in contemporary Ecuadorian
immigration and conducted research in that country with a Fulbright
Research Fellowship in 2002.
