“…Van der Klis /Mulder 2008: 3). In contrast, some empirical studies in France and Germany that do not focus on dual career partnerships point to the relevance of structural strains for the formation of multilocational household organisations of couples and families (Bonnet et al 2006, Schneider et al 2002.…”

“…Despite societal modernisation, job-induced commuting between two residences is, however, a rather male phenomenon in late modern societies as it is manifested by the Microcensus in the case of Germany (Statistisches Bundesamt 2005) and suggested by investigations in Great Britain, France and South-Korea (Hogarth/ Daniel 1988, Green et al 1999, Bonnet et al 2006, Bertaux-Wiame 2006, Vignal 2006, Song-Chul 2001. With the focus being on multilocational household organisations of couple households and families, the French studies mentioned above link reasons for such developments to the "contrat social du couple" and "la limitation des engagements professionnels féminins dès lors qu'il y a d'enfants" 1 (Bertaux-Wiame/Tripier 2006).…”

Job-induced Commuting between Two Residences – Characteristics of a Multilocational Living Arrangement in the Late Modernity

Against the background of the ongoing flexibilisation of labour markets and a rising labour force participation of (highly) qualified women, job-related commuting between a main and secondary residence has become more important in Western capitalist countries as is the case in contemporary Germany. The limited number of recent empirical studies on this kind of multilocational living arrangement almost entirely focuses on commuters in couple/family households. The main objective of this article is, firstly, to provide data about the characteristics and formation contexts of job-related multilocational household organisations as a whole, in order to make a contribution to the discussion of the forms and causes of this currently important phenomenon. Secondly, by means of comparison analyses, the multilocational form of living is compared to the group of long-distance movers, in order to provide insights into who prefers commuting to migration with the complete household under which circumstances. The article draws on data of a field research study, which have been obtained from an individual based random sample from official registers of inhabitants of four metropolises in Germany. The sample was restricted to individuals with specific characteristics (in-movers, age 25 to 59). The fully structured postal interviews were complemented by qualitative telephone interviews with selected commuters. The results show that commuters are a heterogeneous group. Living in a partnership and the social connections established thereby play a prominent role for multilocational household organisations. Among male commuters, one can distinguish between those who are young, never married and predominantly childless, on the one hand, and a group of older married commuters with children in the household, on the other. The vast majority of female commuters, however, live childless. As men commute between two residences even if they live with a family, they significantly more often have a job-related secondary residence than women. Late modern characteristics of job-related multilocational living arrangements are dual earner households for male commuters and high occupational positions for female commuters. The commuting between two accommodations is strongly connected to the career entry, on the one hand, and is also important in a later occupational career phase as a partly longer-lasting period, on the other hand. It may be suggested that the rise of fix-term employment will further increase the importance of multilocational living arrangements in Late Modernity.

“…28-29). The highly work-oriented lifestyles of commuters at their secondary residences, chosen in order to have the weekend off, is also pointed out in other case studies in Germany and France (Gräbe and Ott 2003;Schneider et al 2002;Bonnet et al 2006). One may therefore assume that commuters perceive their job-used secondary residences as a mere physical unit in the sense of having a roof over their head but as a non-place in terms of a locus of activities and social relations, a place of identity, well-being, and intimacy-components that are (among others) discussed in the literature with regards to the concept of home (e.g.…”

Dwelling conditions and preferences in a multilocational way of life for job reasons

Job-induced commuting between two residences has attracted interest from both academia and the public in recent years. However, housing issues in a multilocational way of life are barely addressed in research to date. In this paper commuters' dwelling experiences, dwelling and residential environment preferences and non-preferences at both residences are investigated from the perspective of the individual. The data presented in this paper are based on quantitative and qualitative methods. Particular dwelling profiles of commuters at their secondary residence are derived from multivariate analyses. Concerning objective dwelling conditions and subjective dwelling preferences at the secondary residence a distinction between five types of dwelling of commuters becomes apparent: a first group who can realise their preferences for higher amenity values, (2) commuters with very small and simple dwellings and overall low dwelling needs, (3) commuters with sizeable, high standard secondary dwellings and overall high dwelling preferences, (4) commuters who cannot fulfil their dwelling preferences at the secondary residence, and (5) commuters with dwelling preferences lower than the actual dwelling conditions offer. Corresponding to the wide range of dwelling arrangements, the meanings that commuters attach to their secondary dwelling differ remarkably. The secondary dwelling is perceived by some as a working base, for others it is a place of well-being and intimacy or a second home. Dwelling conditions and preferences at the job-used secondary residence are influenced by commuting arrangement, household/family lifecycle, employment conditions, and lifestyle.

“…As Louis and Amalia's "family career" (BONNET et al, 2006) illustrates, each step (moving in together, planning a family, birth of the first then subsequent children) requires the renegotiation of each partner's professional time and the organization of domestic life. Each leads to new agreements, at first consenting, but later tacit or under duress.…”
