Segregation and the effects of adolescent residential context on poverty risks and early income career: A study of the Swedish 1980 cohort

Will the consequences of residential segregation, that is, spatial concentration of marginalised populations on the one hand, and spatial concentration of affluent populations on the other hand, generate a situation where individual life trajectories are influenced by where individuals grow up? Our aim is to analyse how poverty risks and early income career at adult age are influenced by different neighbourhood contexts in early youth. We use Swedish longitudinal register data, and follow individuals born in 1980 until 2012. Residential context is measured in 1995 at age 15 by expanding a buffer around the residential locations of each individual and, by computing statistical aggregates of different sociodemographic variables for that population. The results show that poverty risks increase for individuals growing up in areas characterised by high numbers of social allowance recipients living nearby, whereas elite geographical context is favourable for both women’s and men’s future income. 居住隔离，即一边是边缘化人口的空间集聚，另一边是富裕人口的空间集聚，是否会造成个人 人生轨迹受个人成长场所影响的情况？我们的目标是分析成年时的贫困风险和早期收入情况如 何受少年时期不同邻里环境的影响。我们使用瑞典的纵向登记数据，并跟踪了 1980到2012年 出生的一组人口。居住情况衡量的是1995年15岁时的状况，具体是通过在每个人的居住地点 周围扩大缓冲区并计算该人群所涉各种社会人口变量的统计汇总。结果表明，在低保人口众多 的地区成长起来的个人，贫困风险更高，而精英式的地理成长环境则有利于女性和男性的未来 收入。
