“…Couples with female anchor persons—that is the person selected randomly as main respondent—were selected because theoretical considerations suggest influences of commuting to be more harmful for partnership stability if the woman commutes. Moreover, previous research did not find harmful effects on partnership stability in Germany if the man commutes (Feldhaus & Schlegel, ; Kley, , ). A replication of the subsequent analyses for male anchor persons also found no harmful effects if the man commutes (see Table 3).…”

“…Long commutes are defined as commutes of at least 1 hour per journey between home and workplace. This threshold was repeatedly used to distinguish long commutes from other commutes in Germany and in other countries (Limmer & Schneider, , p. 34; Feldhaus & Schlegel, ; Kley, ; McKenzie, ). The journey to work is the most important predictor of this study; therefore, all kinds of gainful employment are considered, including marginal and irregular employment.…”

“…In the first three waves of the pairfam survey no information on the partner's journey to work was collected. But a reference study (Kley, , ) found no evidence for interactions between the partner's commutes and other variables on the risk of partnership dissolution.…”

Effects of female commuting on partnership stability in suburban and other residential regions

Long‐distance commuting between home and the place of work is a means to combine both labour market participation and staying embedded in family and local social networks. But commuters often report high stress levels due to their commute and negative outcomes on their family life. Recent findings suggest that long commutes are harmful for partnership stability, especially if women commute. This contribution analyses the questions whether these findings can be replicated with a representative cohort panel study from Germany (pairfam), whether the expected negative outcome of female commuting is robust against partnership quality and labour division, and whether the risk of separation varies systematically across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Discrete event history models are applied to estimate the risk of separation for about 2,500 couples over 3 years (N = 49,408 person‐months). The findings indicate that women's long commuting is normally harmful for partnership stability but with one important exception: not if the couple lives in a suburban area. The article discusses whether the spatial variation in the influence of female commuting might be due to self‐selection processes in the course of family formation.

“…The ideas are discussed across a range of publications including the initial formulations in Moore (1986), Lu (1998) and Kan (1999) followed up more recently by the papers we have already cited (DeGroot et al, 2011a, 2011b; Coulter et al, 2011; Coulter, 2013; Kley, 2015; and Clark and Lisowski, 2016). While there are similar findings across these studies there are also important differences depending on the national context and the nature of the sample.…”

“…The research to date has shown that demographic contexts (family structure), union formation and dissolution (family change), and to a lesser extent, neighborhood contexts, all play a role in whether or not a household will move (see amongst many studies Clark and Dieleman,1996; Clark, 2013; Dewilde, 2008; Kley, 2015, Mulder and Wagner, 1998, Mulder and Wagner, 2012; Mulder and Malmberg, 2014; Michelin et al, 2008). A recent summary of research stresses how living arrangements are at the core of decisions about where to live and when to move (Aybek et al, 2014).…”

Examining the life course sequence of intending to move and moving

There is now a substantial body of research which examines the process of making decisions about moving. The questions of interest in that work and in this study using US data are, first, how do life course changes get translated into intentions to move, and second, to what extent are intentions realized or unrealized. This study extends previous work by considering a longer interval in the planning process, and by examining how life cycle changes create intentions, which in turn are translated, or not, into actual moves. We study the antecedents of the expressed intention to move and the outcomes which follow the expressed intention to move. We test the process of forming intentions and moving in the context of life course events and changes. We find that the subset of variables which create the intention to move vary subtly from the variables which create moves, though the triggering effects of family composition change are critical dimensions of both creating intentions and fulfilling those intentions by moving.

Moving in or Breaking Up? The Role of Distance in the Development of Romantic Relationships

Most romantic relationships start with a living apart together (LAT) phase during which the partners live in two separate households. Over time, a couple might decide to move in together, to separate, or to remain together while maintaining their nonresidential status. This study investigates the competing risks that partners in a LAT relationship will experience the transition to coresidence or to separation. We consider the amount of time LAT partners have to travel to see each other to be a key determinant of relationship development. For our statistical analyses, we use seven waves of the German Family Panel Pairfam (2008/ 2009-2014/2015) and analyze couples in the age group 20-40 years. We distinguish between short-distance relationships (the partners have to travel less than one hour) and long-distance relationships (the partners have to travel one hour or more). Estimating a competing risks model, we find that couples in long-distance relationships are more likely to separate than those living in close proximity. By contrast, the probability of experiencing a transition to coresidence is lower for LAT couples in long-distance than for those in short-distance relationships. Interaction analyses reveal that distance seems to be irrelevant for the relationship development of couples with two nonemployed (unemployed, in education or other inactive) partners.
