SUMMARY:PRB Discuss Online: How Is Immigration Changing the United States?
DESCRIPTION:Update: See transcript here. \nImmigration is a volatile issue for Americans\, who must grapple with the tradeoff between the strain of incorporating new populations and the desire for immigrants’ labor. The United States receives more immigrants than any other country\, and while the annual volume fluctuates with economic and political circumstances\, the flow is likely to continue. What are the forces bringing the current streams of foreigners to the United States\, and how are these newcomers changing the economy and society? How are recent policies likely to affect the legal and illegal flows of immigrants? How has the recent recession affected U.S. immigration? \nDuring a PRB Discuss Online\, Philip Martin\, professor of agricultural economics at the University of California-Davis\, answers participants questions about immigration in the United States. \nSee Web Forum: Immigration in America 2010 for more from PRB on recent U.S. immigration trends and issues.

SUMMARY:PRB Discuss Online: How Are the Children of Single Mothers Faring? Evidence From the Fragile Families Study
DESCRIPTION:Update: Read transcript here. \nThe percentage of U.S. children born outside marriage has increased dramatically over several decades\, growing from 6 percent of all births in 1960 to nearly 40 percent of births today. The Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study has been following a cohort of approximately 3\,600 children born to unmarried parents at the turn of the 21st century to learn more about these families\, investigating\, among other issues\, the capabilities and circumstances of these parents and the nature of their relationships at birth. What happens to parents’ relationships and capabilities over time? How well do children in fragile families fare? What role do welfare state policies play in the lives of parents and children? \nDuring a PRB Discuss Online\, Sara McLanahan\, professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton University and principal investigator on the Fragile Families Study\, answers participants’ questions about the challenges and realities that confront the children of unmarried parents—and how these children and their parents are faring. \nThank all of you for submitting questions for Professor McLanahan and for following the discussion. Because of the large volume of questions\, she was not able to respond to all of them during the session. You can find more information about this research at www.fragilefamilies.princeton.edu/.

SUMMARY:PRB Discuss Online: What Is Your 'Race'? A Question Increasingly Difficult to Answer
DESCRIPTION:Update: View transcript here. \nThe concept of “race” has always been controversial\, given ugly associations with slavery\, the eugenics movement\, and racism. Yet “race” and “racial identity” remain important fundamental aspects of daily life for many Americans and people in other racially diverse societies. In the United States\, our understanding of race and how to measure race have changed over the years\, reflecting changes brought by immigration\, intermarriage\, and changing social attitudes. And as racial intermarriage continues to increase\, racial group boundaries will increasingly blur\, further challenging the meaning of race and racial identity for more and more Americans. These trends have important implications for how the government and other organizations collect and use data on race that are used to help enforce equal opportunity laws and other programs. \nDuring a PRB Discuss Online\, Sharon Lee\, research professor of sociology at the University of Victoria\, British Columbia \, answers participants’ questions about the controversial issues of race and racial identity\, and how they are changing in the United States.
