摘要

This report presents the results of a study that assessed the social and economic problems of recently arrived Cubans and Haitians in Dade County, Fla. An understanding of the concerns faced by the county should give a sense of direction to government agencies and other organizations planning the delivery of services to these populations. A total of 411 entrants were interviewed for the study: 255 Cubans applying for cash assistance, 50 Cubans in jail, 52 Haitians applying for cash assistance, and 54 Haitians in social service programs. The report presents a demographic description of the entrant populations, a discussion of residence and family structures among the Cubans and Haitians, and an examination of the immediate needs and long - term problems of these groups. Also explored are the educational resources and needs of the groups, along with their use of transportation systems, their consumption of media, and their use of the legal system. The Cuban entrants were more economically marginal, less occupationally sophisticated, and younger than previous Cuban entrants, as well as being predominantly male. Haitians were less educated than the Cuban populations; most were illiterate and younger than the Cubans. Both Cuban and Haitian groups find it difficult to find employment because of inadequate training in job skills and little proficiency in English. Cubans showed a tendency to scale back their employment expectations, and Haitians expressed a high level of motivation to go to school to learn the necessary skills. The entrants also face serious housing problems and indicate a certain degree of sadness and depression. However, both groups felt that they have control over their lives and that they have people in the country who care for them. Data tables, the needs assessment questionnaire, footnotes, and the interview instrument are included. (Author abstract modified).
