Abstract

New York City’s Pre-K for All (PKA) is the nation’s largest universal early childhood initiative, serving over 64,000 four-year-olds annually. Stemming from the program’s choice architecture as well as the city’s stark residential segregation, PKA programs are extremely segregated by child race/ethnicity. Our current study explores the complex forces that influence this segregation, including the interplay between family choices, seat availability, site-level enrollment priorities, and the PKA algorithm that weighs these and other considerations. We find that a majority of PKA segregation lies within local communities, and that areas with increased options and greater racial/ethnic diversity exhibit the most extreme segregation. We also conduct a simulation that leverages family PKA choices to maximize site-level racial/ethnic diversity and reduce between-site segregation.
隔离高谭市的年轻人:种族/民族分类和纽约市学前教育的选择架构
纽约市的全民学前教育(Pre-K for All, PKA)是美国最大的全民幼儿计划,每年为64,000多名四岁儿童提供服务。由于项目的选择架构以及城市鲜明的住宅隔离,PKA项目在儿童种族/民族方面受到极大的隔离。我们目前的研究探讨了影响这种隔离的复杂力量,包括家庭选择、座位可用性、站点级入学优先级之间的相互作用,以及权衡这些因素和其他考虑因素的PKA算法。我们发现,大多数PKA种族隔离发生在当地社区,而选择更多、种族/民族多样性更大的地区表现出最极端的种族隔离。我们还进行了一个模拟,利用家庭PKA选择来最大化站点级别的种族/民族多样性,并减少站点之间的隔离。
