Racial/Ethnic Minority Families

Over the past decade the Journal of Family and Economic Issues (JFEI) has published 16 articles focused on racial/ethnic family and economic issues. In this review we have identified five themes among these papers: remittance attitudes and behaviors, marriage, parenting, educational attainment, family resource management, and financial attitudes and behaviors. Using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies with multiracial and race specific samples these papers have strived to add to the literature. While advancements have been made, we see the potential for future research that examines not only within and between racial/ethnic group differences but adds to our understanding of factors that drive these differences. We make recommendations for future research as we hope to see this work continue in JFEI.
