“…Many studies have shown a relationship between migration propensity and employment and occupational factors (Ellis et al 1993;Greenwood 1985;Herzog et al 1993;Warnes 1983). Traditional models of migration relate it to workers' desires to find employment and to maximise wages.…”

Family and kinship factors are important as motivations for moving and as major considerations promoting or deferring migration. This is most obviously the case for family events that involve the establishment of new households or the dissolution of old ones, through cohabitation, marriage, separation and divorce. The overall importance of such events can be gauged from life-history data where the timing of residential moves and family events are both recorded. One such data set, from the Social Change and Economic Life Initiative, is used in this paper. The results confirm that there is indeed a relationship between these family events and migration, although there is a surprising number of separations, in particular, which do not seem to have involved residential moves. It may be noted that migration does not necessarily coincide exactly with marriage or divorce, and moves related to these events may sometimes occur a year or two before or after. This is to be expected because residential moves associated with household formation or dissolution may occur well before the family event is made official through marriage or divorce.

“…The most relevant research to our work was by Long Long (1973) who found that differences in occupational flows can largely be described by demographic features and the educational attainment of the members of a given occupation group. More recently Ellis et al (1993) examine the 1980 data focusing on the geographic structure of occupational migration flows and found evidence of distinct subsystems of interstate migration flows differentiated by occupation. The former research would seem to indicate that efforts to integrate migration into occupational employment projections would not be justified whereas the latter results on occupational subsystems would support the effort.…”

“…Long distance migration from locations that sharply contrast with the Weser-Ems region in terms of culture, topography and landscape, dialect or language was undertaken mainly by managers for top-level positions; another endorsement for the general hypotheses of a correlation between career-achievement and spatial mobility (Ellis et al, 1993;Owen & Green, 1992). The in-migrants came from all over Germany.…”

An adequate supply of highly quali ed workers is a central prerequisite for the ability of peripheral and economically lagging regions to develop. In order to take advantage of endogenous potential, bottlenecks in human knowledge and know-how must be overcome by means of support from outside. An important element in this is migration. Taking as an example the Weser-Ems region in northwestern Germany, the strategies used by local enterprises to motivate managerial staff to move from other regions are shown and the level of success achieved is described. As is shown, the regional labour market has lost signi cance for the upper segment in the course of structural changes in the economy, which has led to an increase in the necessity for cross-regional searches in order to ll managerial posts. As enterprises in peripheral locations have poor starting conditions in the cross-regional competition for highly quali ed workers, this development demands that more and more enterprises mobilize considerable resources for the recruitment of staff. Although the ndings indicate that the potential of workers willing to migrate is greater and more diverse than is often assumed, they also show that certain types of enterprises have great dif culty in overcoming independently the personnel-related disadvantages resulting from the location, and require support through regional structural policy.Ruth Rohr-Zänker, IES, University of Hannover, Lister Strasse 15, 30163 Hannover.
