“…But other forms of selectivity may play a role, too. After migration, married women tend to have lower labour force participation rates than other married women (Shihadeh, 1991;Smits, 1999). It is very possible that the women who did accept a new job after the move belong to the happy few who got a good offer.…”

Career Migration, Self-selection and the Earnings of Married Men and Women in the Netherlands, 1981-93

The relationship between career migration and earnings is studied for married men and women in the Netherlands. The hourly wages of married men and women who made a recent long-distance move are found to be higher than those of married men and women who did not move or who moved only over a small distance. This earning difference between migrants and non-migrants seems to be due completely to the fact that the migrants are a favourable self-selected group, both with regard to their measured characteristics and with regard to their unmeasured characteristics. If this favourable self-selection is taken into account, the male and female migrants turn out to earn signi cantly less than their non-migrating counterparts. For the males, this nding suggests that before the move they were in relatively unfavourable labour market situations compared with the non-migrants with the same measured and unmeasured characteristics. For the females, the negative effect of migration merely indicates that most long-distance moves are still made for the career of their husband.

“…For married women, a negative effect of migration is expected, because they seldom move for their own careers (Lichter, 1980;Shihadeh, 1991;Smits, 1999). They have to give up their local social network and rmspeci c capital and have to start anew at the new location.…”

“…The development of an increasing share of two-income families is one important explanation for why people become more reluctant to migrate. Having a partner who works is known to reduce mobility and generate 'tied stayers' among both women and men (BUCHEL and BATTU, 2003;GREEN et al, 1999;NIVALAINEN, 2005;SMITS, 1999). GREEN and CANNY (2003) found that children's schooling is an important consideration for families when considering relocation.…”

LUNDHOLM E. Interregional migration propensity and labour market size in Sweden, 1970 Studies. The tendency in several European countries toward an increase in commuting has sometimes been presented as one possible explanation for why interregional migration propensity has decreased. This study is an attempt to investigate the impact of job availability on migration propensity over time. Other studies have shown that the size of the labour market has an effect on migration propensity. The same effect was found in this study. However, no evidence was found that job availability has become more influential on migration over time. The process of extended commuting has thus not made commuting opportunities more important as explanatory factor for interregional migration. Interregional migrationLabour market size Commuting Sweden LUNDHOLM E. La propension à la migration inter-régionale et la taille du marché du travail: la Suède de 1970 à 2001, Regional Studies. Dans plusieurs pays européens, la tendance à l'augmentation du nombre des migrations quotidiennes se présente souvent comme une explication potentielle du déclin de la propension à la migration inter-régionale. Cette étude cherche à examiner l'impact des possibilités d'emploi sur la propension à la migration dans le temps. D'autres études montrent que la taille du marché du travail influe sur la propension à la migration; cette étude aboutit à la même conclusion. Cependant, rien ne prouve que les offres d'emploi inflent plus sur la migration dans le temps. Ainsi, les migrations quotidiennes de plus longue distance n'ont pas rendu plus importantes les possibilités des migrations quotidiennes comme déterminants de la migration inter-régionale.

Die Tendenz in mehreren europäischen Ländern hin zu einem verstärkten Pendlerverkehr wird zuweilen als mögliche Erklärung für die gesunkene Neigung zur interregionalen Migration präsentiert. In dieser Studie wird versucht, die Auswirkung der Verfügbarkeit von Arbeitsplätzen auf die Migrationsneigung über längere Zeit hinweg zu analysieren. In anderen Studien zeigte sich, dass sich die Größe des Arbeitsmarkts auf die Migrationsneigung auswirkt; derselbe Effekt wurde auch in dieser Studie beobachtet. Hingegen wurden keine Anzeichen dafür festgestellt, dass die Verfügbarkeit von Arbeitsplätzen im Laufe der Zeit einen stärkeren Einfluss auf die Migration ausgeübt hat. Die Zunahme des Pendlerverkehrs hat also die Möglichkeiten zum Pendeln nicht zu einem wichtigeren Faktor zur Erklärung interregionaler Migration werden lassen.

This paper investigates the gendered economic outcome of migration among young adults. The results, achieved using a unique database containing the entire Swedish population, show that men's earnings are positively influenced by migration, whereas changes in women's earnings have no such obvious connection to migration. Other individual background variables are further shown to affect change in earnings differently for men and women when migrating. Most importantly, when men and women are analysed according to household type, it is obvious that children cause the largest variations. Migrating was more disadvantageous for women with children, while other groups gained from migrating. Cet article cherche à examiner les retombées économiques par sexe de la migration des jeunes adultes. A partir d'une base de données unique comportant la totalité de la population suédoise, les résultats laissent voir que les salaires des hommes sont en corrélation étroite avec la migration, tandis que la variation des salaires des femmes n'a aucun rapport avec la migration. En outre, d'autres variables plus générales influent sur la variation des salaires de façon différente suivant le sexe au moment de la migration. En particulier il est évident que, lorsque l'on analyse les hommes et les femmes suivant la composition du ménage, ce sont les enfants qui incitent aux variations les plus marquées. La migration s'avère plus désavantageuse pour les mères de famille, alors que d'autres groupes ont gagné à la migration. Dieser Aufsatz untersucht die wirtschaftlichen Folgen der Wanderung junger Erwachsener im Hinblick auf die Geschlechter. Die Ergebnisse, die sich auf eine einzigartige, die gesamte schwedische Bevölkerung umfassende Datenbank stützen, zeigen, daß Wanderung sich positiv auf die Einkommens von Männern auswirkt, während bei Frauen Veränderungen in Einkommen keine offensichtliche Beziehung zu Wanderung aufweisen. Es wird darüberhinaus gezeigt, wie andere, individuelle Veränderliche sich bei Wanderung unterschiedlich auf Einkommensveränderungen bei Männern und Frauen auswirken. Hervorstechend in der Analyse von Männern und Frauen nach Haushaltstyp war jedoch, wie offensichtlich Kinder die größten Abweichungen verursachen. Für Frauen mit Kindern entstehen bei Wanderung mehr Nachteile, während andere Gruppen daraus Gewinn zogen.Migration Changes In Earnings Gender Household Structures Sweden,
