Migrant Farmworkers In Wisconsin (1998): A Demographic And Health Profile

Author: University of Wisconsin-Madison
Date Published: 1998


The purpose of this survey is to provide current demographic, economic, and environmental information about migrant farmworkers. Numerous state and county agencies, non-profit organizations, churches, health and educational institutions, and other community groups are anxious for current data about the migrant farmworker population. Many of these organizations and institutions need to know where the migrants are located in the state; their gender and age; what kinds of health, child care housing, or other problems they may have; and what types of services they express a need to receive while in Wisconsin. This survey will help fill the gap in this needed information. The survey also obtained information about migrant mothers and their children. The information will be the subject of a future report.
