introduced as a, control since these differences might influ-
ence the percentage of women married and fertility. The
operational definition is the percentage of blacks in an
SMSA/ and the data are obtained from Census Tracts, 1970
Census of Population and Housing, Table P-l (10) .
8, Sex Ratio: The sex ratio is included in the sta-
tistical model since the number of available partners influ-
ences the number who are married. If the sex ratio (males/
females) is low in art SMSA, one would expect to find a low
percentage of married women. This concept has two opera-
tional definitions. First, it is defined as the ratio of
the number of men aged 25-29 to the number of women aged
2-2-24 in each SMSA. The construction of this definition re-
flects the practice of women marrying men who are several
years older than themselves. This variable will act as a
control to proportion married age 22-24. The second opera-
tional definition is the ratio of the number of men aged
30-34 to the number of women aged 25-29 in each SMSA. Again,
the structure of the variable is related to the practice of
women marrying men older than themselves. This variable
will act as a control to proportion married age 25-29. The
data available from the Detailed Characteristics of the
Popula,tion, 1970, Table 138 (9) is used.
9, Female Migration: Interpretations of the findings
need to be discussed in such a way as to suggest that the
environment has an influence on females native to the area
