This report examines the number of parents, siblings, and children reported by foreign-born respondents using the Language, Immigration, and Emigration supplement to the 1989 Current Population Survey. The data were sorted by period of entry into the United States, region of birth, and by current age. Also presented are numbers of relatives within and outside the United States as a way of addressing the potential for future immigration through family reunification.

This report is one in a series of six examining publicly funded family planning services in the United States. The report documents the evolution of family planning services and their changing clientele during the 1980s. It reviews and analyzes consumer perspectives on family planning services and providers with an emphasis on clinics. The series is intended to serve as a starting point for public debate and discussion about the role of the public sector in supporting family planning services in the future.
