1 BLACK IMMIGRANTS, THEIR CHILDREN, AND THEIR FAMILIES Kevin J.A. Thomas
2 Background The history of Black immigration to the US dates back to the period of slavery 360,000 African slaves were taken directly to the US between 1519 to 1867 Black slave migration to the US through the Caribbean was also important during this period The recent growth in the Black immigrant population occurred after 1965 The Black immigrant population increased by more than 1,000% between 1965 to 2005 (Kent 2007) Among children, the increase was 125% for Black immigrants vs. 100% for all children of immigrants in the last two decades
3 Population in Thousands Black immigrant population trends 3,000 2,000 1,000 0 Data Source: Kent (2007) Year
4 Percent Trends 80 Percentage change in the population of children in immigrant families Black children in immigrant families All Black children All children in immigrant families
5 Diverse ethnic and regional origins The majority of Black children in immigrant families have parents from either the Caribbean or Africa Black children with Caribbean parents: 47% Black children with African parents: 39% Black children with other immigrant parents: 14% Additional patterns of diversity are found within the population of children with parents from the Caribbean and Africa Major Caribbean groups: Haiti (37%); Jamaica (34%); Trinidad and Tobago (10%) Major African groups: Nigeria (22%); Ethiopia (10%); Somalia (9%)
6 Percent Educational attainment US-born All immigrants All Black immigrants Less than high school Four-year college/professional degree Black Africans Caribbean Blacks
7 Family structure Black children of immigrants are less likely to live with single parents than children in native-born Black families However, they are less likely to live in such families compared to the children of White or Asian immigrants Among immigrants, Blacks are therefore among the most exposed to the vulnerabilities of single parent families Single-parent families are less prevalent among African than among Caribbean immigrants
8 Percentage Extended family arrangements 14 Young children of immigrants in extended families Black Black, African Black, Caribbean White Asian Hispanic
9 Extended family arrangements Extended families are also more common among Black immigrants than among US-natives They serve an instrumental purpose in meeting short-term needs Caribbean Blacks are more likely to live in extended families than Black African immigrants Possibly because Caribbean immigrants are more likely to qualify for familyreunification and have lower migration costs
10 Percentage Young children of immigrants in poverty Black White Asian Hispanic Official poverty 100 to 200% Poverty
11 Family poverty status Among immigrant families, Black as well as Hispanic families have the highest rates of poverty Among Hispanics, poverty rates are highest among Black Hispanics For Black immigrant families, the poverty disadvantage is counterintuitive given their high levels of parental schooling and labor force participation Their high rates of poverty have important implications for longer-term disadvantages Poverty in childhood affects subsequent educational, psychological, and social development
12 Summary and conclusions Black immigration to the US has important implications for the welfare of their families Black immigrant families generally encounter serious socioeconomic constraints relative to other immigrant families There are important similarities in the family characteristics of the two major Black immigrant groups E.g., Black immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean are more likely to be poor compared to the families of US-natives However, the major groups also differ on important dimensions such as parental citizenship status and family structure
