Chapter Chapter 9 in Mexican American and Immigrant Poverty in the United States, 2011, pp 133-138 from Springer Abstract: Abstract The main goals of this book were to assess and review the situation of the incidence of poverty for Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants in the SouthwestSouthwest United States. Logistic regressionLogistic regression equations were estimated predicting the likelihood of being in poverty for these two groups, and independent variables were used at both the individual and contextual levels. These two populations are of particular interest for a number of reasons. These include the fact that Mexican Americans and immigrants do not seem to enjoy the protection from poverty normally afforded via employment and marital status, i.e. married with spouse present, and they are the largest and most quickly growing ethnic group in the US population. Additionally, they maintain rates of poverty well above those of other ethnic groups when controls for marital status and other relevant variables are in place.
