Chapter 13. Country of Birth of the Foreign-Born Population

Transcription

1 Campbell Gibson American Demographic History Chartbook: 0 to Chapter. Country of Birth of the Foreign-Born Population With a few exceptions, data on the foreign-born population by country of birth refer to foreign countries as defined at each census. Thus, for example, data for Austria and Hungary to 0 are not comparable to data for 0 forward because of changes in the map of Europe following World War I. Even though Poland ceased to exist as an independent country in, Poland was identified as a country of birth in U.S. censuses from 0 to. Poland was not so identified in 0, but was again in 0 following World War I. The 0 foreign-born population with Polish mother tongue provides an estimate of the 0 foreign-born population from Poland. The world regions of birth used here to classify the foreign-born population are Europe, Northern America (about percent of which was from Canada in ), Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. For more information on time-series data on the foreign-born population by country of birth and world region of birth, see Campbell Gibson and Kay Jung (00), Historical Census Statistics on the Foreign-Born Population of the United States: 0 to, U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division Working Paper No.. Census reports for 0 to showed data on the foreign-born population for country of birth by mother tongue and for mother tongue by country of birth. These data shown in Figures - and - for 0 and, respectively. For many countries the data are not comparable for the two years due to boundary changes after World War I. In some cases, the countries and mother tongues of the foreign-born population identify nearly the same population (e.g., Italy and Italian, or Norway and Norwegian). In other cases, there are major differences. For example, in 0, the foreign-born population from Austria was very diverse by mother tongue, with five different mother tongues each accounting for 0 percent or more of the total. Figures -.
