“…The average distance between older adults and their children was almost 30 km (Table 2; cf. also Mulder and Kalmijn 2006). At 16 km, the smallest distance was considerably less than the average distance.…”

For older people, proximity to family members may well be highly valuable. In this paper, we investigate to what extent the relocation behaviour of older people is associated with the distance to their children and siblings. For the analysis, we have used data from the Netherlands Kinship Panel Study. This dataset includes detailed geographical information about places of residence. We employ descriptive analyses and multinomial logistic regression of moving closer to family members and moving away from them. We Wnd that, with increasing distance to children, older people are more inclined to move closer to their children and slightly less inclined to move away from them. The Wndings for moving closer to and away from siblings are similar, but less pronounced. We also Wnd that older people with grandchildren are more likely to move closer to their children than those without grandchildren. No inXuence of health problems on relocations of older adults is found.

“…However, though the potential time for grandparenting has increased -nowadays grandparents are more likely to survive throughout their grandchildren's childhood and grandparents are both healthier later in life -this does not necessarily indicate grandparents are able and willing to invest more actual time with their grandchildren. Families are no longer confined to small geographical areas, and the further away kin are, the less face-to-face contact they may have (Mulder and van der Meer 2009), though help can also occur through different routes e.g. economic support.…”

“…Of course the possibility for help between adult children and parents can be reciprocal. Older parents can help their adult children with child care for grandchildren and other social contributions of time and sometimes resources (Mulder and Malmberg, 2014;Mulder and van der Meer, 2009). They can also help with inter-generational financial transfers (Mulder and Smits, 2013).…”

Residential mobility is the process whereby individuals and households adjust their locations in cities. These moves, in the aggregate, change neighborhoods as well as providing specific housing outcomes for households and families as a result of the move. The literature on residential change has evolved from cross-sectional studies of family structure and their housing circumstances, to life course analyses of the motivations for moving, the contexts in which the moves occur, and the intersection of life course change and housing choice. The combined work of demographers, geographers, economists and sociologists has provided a much clearer and more nuanced understanding of behavior in the housing market than was possible with cross-sectional analyses. This paper reviews the evolution of life course approaches to residential mobility and discusses the current state of the research literature. Keywords: mobility; life course; housing markets; neighborhoods; residential sorting * Some of the material in this paper was originally prepared for a seminar on housing hosted Resumen. La movilidad residencial en su contexto: interpretar el comportamiento en el mercado residencialLa movilidad residencial es el proceso por el cual los individuos y hogares ajustan su localización en la ciudad. Estos cambios, de manera agregada, transforman los barrios al tiempo que producen efectos específicos sobre los hogares y las familias. La literatura sobre cambios de residencia ha evolucionado desde los planteamientos transversales sobre la estructura familiar y las condiciones de su domicilio hacia análisis desde la perspectiva del curso vital de las razones para mudarse, los contextos en que ocurren los cambios, y la intersección de los cambios vitales y la elección residencial. El trabajo combinado de demógrafos, geógrafos, economistas y sociólogos ha proporcionado una comprensión más clara y matizada de lo que era posible con análisis transversales. Este artículo revisa la evolución de los acercamientos a la movilidad residencial desde el curso vital, y debate el estado de la cuestión en la literatura de investigación.
