“…Within the life course framework, individuals are understood to experience events across several parallel life careers (such as the labour market or household careers). Such events can trigger residential moves, either directly (for instance to form a new household or to change job) or more subtly by generating stress, disequilibrium and a moving desire (see Mulder and Hooimeijer 1999). This approach incorporates the insights provided by earlier theories (for instance that certain events are typical of specific life stages), while also recognising that individual mobility behaviours are varied, dynamic and influenced by other household members.…”

Much research has investigated how individuals form these pre-move thoughts, with a largely separate literature examining actual mobility. Only a few studies have attempted to link pre-move thoughts to subsequent actual moves, but these often do not explicitly distinguish between different types and combinations of pre-move thoughts. Using 1998-2006 British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) data, this study is the first to investigate whether moving desires and expectations are empirically distinct pre-move thoughts. Using multinomial regression models we demonstrate that moving desires and expectations have different meanings, and often occur in combination: the factors associated with expecting to move differ depending upon whether the move is also desired (and vice versa). Next, using panel logistic regression models, we show that different desire-expectation combinations have different effects on the probability of subsequent moving behaviour.JEL Classification: J61, R21, R23

“…Life-course events are of great importance to migration (Mulder and Hooimeijer 1999). Partly because the life course is framed by institutions, many life-course events are to a great extent typical of certain life-course phases and age spans (cf.…”

Despite the common acknowledgement that migration is a process, the vast majority of empirical migration studies focus on actual moves without paying attention to the stages preceding them. We use an analytical framework in which the migration process is subdivided into a phase of decision-making, consisting of considering and planning the move, and another phase of realizing it. We investigate which part both life-course events and perceived opportunities play in each stage of the migration process for moves out of the city among young adults aged 18-29 years. The data come from a representative survey in two German cities (Magdeburg and Freiburg) and were gathered via a two-wave design in 2006 and 2007. Results from a generalized ordered logistic regression analysis of not considering, considering, or planning migration reveal that perceived opportunities and life-course events are important predictors of considering and planning migration, whereas beginning tertiary education and beginning a job are particularly important to entering the planning stage. Results from a binomial logistic regression of moving versus staying show that resources are particularly important for putting the decision in favor of migration into action.

“…Prior research has found differential effects of mobility depending on neighborhood context, child's age/developmental period, and financial resources (Anderson, Leventhal, and Dupere 2014;Pettit 2004). Giving birth to a young child may precipitate a particular type of move, since this life course change can spur relocation efforts (Mulder and Hooimeijer 1999;Rabe and Taylor 2010). It is therefore important to examine mobility among young children separately from other groups.…”

BACKGROUNDUnderstanding residential mobility in early childhood is important for contextualizing influences on child health and well-being. OBJECTIVEThis study describes individual, household, and neighborhood characteristics associated with residential mobility for children aged 0−5. METHODSWe examined longitudinal data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (ECLS-B), a nationally representative sample of children born in 2001. Frequencies described the prevalence of characteristics for four waves of data and adjusted Wald tests compared means. RESULTSMoving was common for these families with young children, as nearly three-quarters of children moved at least once. Movers transitioned to neighborhoods with residents of higher socioeconomic status but experienced no improved household socioeconomic position relative to non-movers. CONCLUSIONBoth the high prevalence and unique implications of early childhood residential mobility suggest the need for further research.
