Abstract
This study focuses on a population of young male entrants to the urban labor force from a low-income, traditionally familistic, relatively isolated rural area of the Southern Appalachian region. The research is designed to explore the proposition that close identification with family of origin, as measured by frequency of interaction with parents, tends to hold back the young rural migrant from becoming a functional member of the urban industrial community. Indicators of functional integration include involvement with familial and nonfamilial groups, feelings of residential stability and anomia, and occupational achievement.
