“…In addition, infants' propensity to move (with their parents) is high. Note also that, when there really is a choice, studies based on primary collected data or survey data employ region of residence at other ages than at birth, typically during adolescence/young adulthood (eg, DaVanzo and Morrisson, 1981;Dienel et al, 2006;Stockdale, 2006;Wilson et al, 2009). On the other hand, studies of geographical attachment instead stress the length of time spent somewhere as a key factor, although other predicators have also been attributed importance (Lewicka, 2011).…”

Longitudinal microdata on the Swedish population, 1990-2006, are used to examine the numbers and characteristics of internal return migrants, emphasizing Sweden's three largest cities. Our study indicates that metropolitan regions are gaining population from net return migration, which thus carries people in the same direction as does most internal migration. Evidence also indicates that returnees to metropolitan regions are more likely to stay permanently than are migrants returning elsewhere. Furthermore, return migrants to metropolitan regions are distinguished from other return migrants in ways that emphasize the advantages of these regions, higher incomes and levels of education being among the pronounced attributes. However, metro-bound returnees do not have as many children as do other return migrants.

“…The initial move is, however, less likely to satisfy movers’ needs because they may have had little information about new environments and be disappointed by the discrepancy between their expected and actual gains (McHugh, Hogan, and Happel 1995). As a result, some of the initial movers seek additional destinations while others return to their original places (McHugh et al 1995; Wilson et al 2009). The sequential migration patterns vary by location-specific capital and length residing in the place (DaVanzo and Morrison 1981) and also by personal traits which are not captured with explanatory variables typically available in major data-sets (DaVanzo 1983; Gabriel and Schmitz 1995).…”

Background Previous research on inter-relations between migration and marriage has relied on overly simplistic assumptions about the structure of dependency between the two events. However, there is good reason to posit that each of the two transitions has an impact on the likelihood of the other, and that unobserved common factors may affect both migration and marriage, leading to a distorted impression of the causal impact of one on the other. Objective We will investigate relationships between migration and marriage in the United States using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. We allow for inter-dependency between the two events and examine whether unobserved common factors affect the estimates of both migration and marriage. Methods We estimate a multi-process model in which migration and marriage are considered simultaneously in regression analysis and there is allowance for correlation between disturbances; the latter feature accounts for possible endogeneity between shared unobserved determinants. The model also includes random effects for persons, exploiting the fact that many people experience both events multiple times throughout their lives. Results Unobserved factors appear to significantly influence both migration and marriage, resulting in upward bias in estimates of the effects of each on the other when these shared common factors are not accounted for. Estimates from the multi-process model indicate that marriage significantly increases the hazard of migration while migration does not affect the hazard of marriage. Conclusions Omitting inter-dependency between life course events can lead to a mistaken impression of the direct effects of certain features of each event on the other.

“…non‐Hispanic whites, non‐Hispanic blacks, and Hispanics). Currently, there is limited research on the net differences between racial and ethnic groups on the propensity for repeat migration (although see Wilson et al ., ), and research has yet to rigorously examine the racial and ethnic differences in the effects of community characteristics on repeat migration. A focal objective of this study then is to further develop and test the tenets of the cultural constraints hypothesis – a hypothesis that anticipates divergent community effects on migration propensities for minority and majority group members – specifically as it relates to patterns of repeat migration.…”

“…Long (), among others, found that those with higher levels of education are more likely to engage in internal migration than those with lower levels of education. However, there is one notable exception to this general pattern: lower levels of education are associated with higher rates of return migration (DaVanzo and Morrison, ; DaVanzo, ; Wilson et al ., )…”

Contemporary internal migration trends in the US raise questions about the role of community characteristics in shaping individual-level migration propensities among different racial and ethnic groups. To examine this issue more closely, this research incorporates key county-level characteristics into a study of repeat migration. With data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth merged with US census data, this study found that heavily populated counties and counties with large concentrations of employment in manufacturing industries reduce the odds of primary outmigration, onward migration to other locations, and return migration to a previous county of residence. Counties with a high degree of natural amenity retain longstanding white residents. Net of individual unemployment, the county-level unemployment rate hinders primary and onward migration among whites. In support of the cultural constraints hypothesis -a hypothesis that anticipates divergent community-level effects for minority and majority group memberswhites are more likely to engage in repeat migration from counties with smaller shares of non-Hispanic White population whereas blacks are more likely to engage in repeat migration from areas with larger shares of non-Hispanic White population. whites and blacks are more likely to move out of counties with larger shares of foreign-born population. The share of neither non-Hispanic White population nor foreign-born population affects Hispanic repeat migration propensities.
