SUMMARY:Bruce Western\, Harvard University and Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:“Homeward: Life in the Year After Prison” \nAbstract: This talk will address my new book\, Homeward: Life in the Year After Prison. The book  tells the stories of the men and women I met through the Boston Reentry Study\, a series of interviews my research team and I conducted with people leaving prison for neighborhoods around Boston. We were trying to understand what happens when people return to a community\, and the challenges faced by them and their families. How did they look for work and housing? How did they manage their addictions or mental illness\, and why did some return to incarceration? In trying to answer these questions\, I hoped to bear witness to the lives held captive in America’s experiment with mass incarceration. The research showed that imprisonment is followed by deep poverty\, in which unemployment is widespread and survival is assisted only by government programs and family support. While earlier studies have focused on the stigma of a criminal record\, the men and women of Boston also struggled greatly with human frailty — mental illness\, addiction\, and physical disability — that threatened success after incarceration and impaired the effectiveness of programs. They had experienced serious violence\, often as perpetrators\, but just as frequently as victims and witnesses\, and often since early childhood. Under these conditions\, freedom after prison was not a status granted by release\, but something attained gradually. Becoming free was a process of social integration where one had to find one’s place with kin and community. \nMore on Prof. Western \n*Co-sponsored with the California Policy Lab

SUMMARY:Susan Cassels\, UC Santa Barbara
DESCRIPTION:“Self-selection or enabling environments: What predicts the association between short-term mobility and sexual behavior?” \nAbstract: Short-term mobility is often associated with increased risk behavior. For example\, mobile individuals often have higher rates of sexual risk behavior compared to non-mobile individuals\, but the reasons why are not clear. Using monthly retrospective panel data from Ghana\, we test whether short-term mobility is associated with differences in total and unprotected sex acts\, and whether the association is due to enabling\, selection\, or influential reasons. In other words\, do mobile individuals express higher levels of risk due to an environment that enables that risk? Alternatively\, mobile individuals may be selected on some trait that predicts less aversion to risk. Men who were mobile in a given month had more sex acts compared to non-mobile men. Regardless of short-term mobility in a given month\, both men and women who were mobile in future months had more sex acts compared to individuals not mobile in future months. Our findings support the hypothesis that both men and women who are mobile are positively selected on sexual risk behavior. The enabling hypothesis\, that the act of being mobile enables sexual risk behavior\, was only supported for men. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Cassels

SUMMARY:Sarah Baird\, George Washington University
DESCRIPTION:“When the Money Runs Out: Do Cash Transfers Have Sustained Effects on Human Capital Accumulation?” \nAbstract: The five-year evaluation of a cash transfer program targeted to young women points to both the promise and limitations of cash transfers for persistent welfare gains. Conditional cash transfers produced sustained improvements in education and fertility for initially out-of-school females\, but caused no gains in other outcomes. Significant declines in HIV prevalence\, pregnancy and early marriage observed during the program among recipients of unconditional cash transfers (UCTs) evaporated quickly after the cessation of support. However\, children born to UCT beneficiaries during the program had significantly higher height-for-age z-scores at follow-up pointing to the potential importance of cash during critical periods. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Baird

SUMMARY:Ethnic/Racial Characteristics and Inequality of Opportunity in Mexico
DESCRIPTION:More Information: http://www.international.ucla.edu/lai/event/13239#.WuoL1C7waUl \nHousehold surveys in Mexico include only limited information on race and ethnicity. The identification of racial and ethnic characteristics beyond membership to indigenous populations has been historically a difficult topic\, in part because it defies the “mestizo” ideology\, that is\, the image of Mexico as a racially integrated society through the mix of ancient indigenous and European populations. In 2016\, the National Institute of Statistics of Mexico (INEGI) executed a national survey on social mobility (MMSI). In this presentation\, I will talk about the process that led to the inclusion of racial/ethnic characteristics in this survey\, the media and academic debate that emerged after its publication\, and the main results of the survey\, which suggest that the effects of ethnic and racial characteristics on social inequality in Mexico extend well beyond the dichotomous indigenous/non-indigenous divide. \nPatricio Solís is Professor-Researcher at the Center for Sociological Studies of El Colegio de México (2004-present) and Editor in Chief of the journal Estudios Sociológicos (2016-present). He obtained a PhD in Sociology from the University of Texas at Austin (2002)\, and a MD in Population Studies from FLACSO-México (1995). His research interests are social stratification\, intergenerational social mobility\, and educational inequality. He was the principal academic advisor of the Intergenerational Social Mobility Module (MMSI) 2016\, a national survey carried out by the National Institute of Statistic and Geography of Mexico (INEGI). Two of his most recent publications are the books “Discriminación estructural y desigualdad social” (2017\, Consejo Nacional para Prevenir la Discriminación-CEPAL) and “Desigualdad\, movilidad social y curso de vida en la Ciudad de México” (2017\, El Colegio de México). \nLight refreshments will be served. RSVP to Jennifer Laínez. \nCost: Free & Open to the Public \nFor more information please contact\nJennifer Lainez\njlainez@international.ucla.edu \nDownload File: Solis_Flyer-55-uub.pdf \nSponsor(s): Center for Mexican Studies\, California Center for Population Research\, Race & Ethnicity Working Group

SUMMARY:Dennis Culhane\, University of Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:“The Promise of Integrated Data Systems for Social Science Research” \nAbstract: Integrated Data Systems (IDS) linking administrative\, public agency data hold great promise for rapid and low-cost implementation and evaluation of homeless initiatives. Culhane will review the legal\, ethical\, scientific and economic challenges of interagency data sharing\, as well as systematic efforts including policy reform and inter-agency collaboration to overcome these challenges. Finally\, he will review important new IDS initiatives in LA County and California. \nMore on Prof. Culhane

SUMMARY:V. Joseph Hotz\, Duke University
DESCRIPTION:“The Role of Parental Wealth & Income in Financing Children’s College Attendance & Its Consequences” \nAbstract: This paper examines the influence of parental wealth and income on their children’s college attendance and parents’ financial support for it and whether the latter affects the subsequent levels of indebtedness of parents and their children. We use data from the PSID\, especially data in the 2013 Rosters and Transfers Module on the incidence and amounts of parents’ financial support for their children’s college. To instrument for the potential endogeneity of parental housing wealth and income on these decisions\, we use changes in parents’ local housing and labor market conditions. We find that increases in both parents’ housing wealth and income increase the likelihood of their children attending college through the effect of parents’ financial support. This parental financing of college leads to parents carrying more debt\, but their children having no greater student loan debt after graduation. We also find that parental financing of their child’s college education significantly increases the probability that the child actually graduates from college. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Hotz
