“…Finally, identifying as black or African American is significantly associated with less residential mobility in both sets of models, although the effect of race in the full sample is mediated by relationship status (Model 5). This is consistent with prior research showing that African Americans tend to leave home later (Lei and South 2016; De Marco and Berzin 2008; Tang 1997) and are less mobile than their Caucasian counterparts despite experiencing greater economic pressures to move, such as high individual- and neighborhood-level unemployment rates (Spilimbergo and Ubeda 2004).…”

“…However, this level of detailed mobility data, reported in monthly intervals, is not available in national data sets. Although the National Survey of Families and Households – which is frequently used to investigate home-leaving and returns to the parental home (Aquilino 1991; Goldscheider and Goldscheider 1998; De Marco and Berzin 2008; Tang 1997; White and Lacy 1997) – includes an event history calendar, respondents are asked to recall multiple years of housing history at a time. This traditional panel structure likely yields an undercount of moves in my key subpopulation of interest, rapid movers, especially if they go through periods of couch surfing or other forms of housing instability where exact dates and number of residences may be difficult to recall years later.…”

The role of residential mobility in reproducing socioeconomic stratification during the transition to adulthood

OBJECTIVE This study assesses whether frequency of residential mobility plays a role in the reproduction of socioeconomic inequality during the transition to adulthood based on two criteria: (1) selection – is there socioeconomic sorting into residential trajectories? – and (2) lack of moderation – is this sorting irreducible to other life events that prompt moves (e.g., changes in employment status)? METHODS I use two and a half years of monthly address data from the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life data set, a sample of 18- and 19-year-old young women in a Michigan county. As an improvement upon previous measures of residential mobility, I use group-based trajectory analysis to categorize young women into residential trajectory groups. I then conduct a series of nested logistic regressions to predict membership in residential trajectory groups and a decomposition analysis to determine whether rapid movers are exposed to more life events (e.g., entering/exiting employment) or are simply more sensitive to moving in the face of life events compared to gradual movers. RESULTS Rapid moving is associated with low socioeconomic status. Rapid movers experience similar family formation, employment, and academic changes as gradual movers but are more likely to move when faced with these life events. CONCLUSIONS High residential mobility is a phenomenon among early home-leavers as part of an accelerated and underfunded transition to adulthood rather than a reflection of the upward socioeconomic mobility of college students. CONTRIBUTION High residential mobility is not simply a neutral or normative aspect of the transition to adulthood but rather part of the process of reproducing socioeconomic stratification.

“…The study uses a modified version of the typology for home leaving suggested by Tang (1997). The home-leavers are classified as follows: early home-leavers, on-time home-leavers and late home-leavers.…”

“…Most studies use a dichotomous variable to distinguish persons who have ever left home from those who have not. This dichotomous conceptualisation of the home-leaving process implicitly assumes that the predictors of home leaving are independent of the timing of home leaving (Tang, 1997). In fact, however, the major causes for an adolescent to leave home might be different from those leading a 25-or 30-year-old…”

“…Family socioeconomic status has been positively associated with the age of labor force entry, first marriage, and first birth (Marini, 1985). Living in a stepparent or single-parent family also has been positively associated with leaving the home at a younger age (Aquilino, 1991;Buck & Scott, 1993;Cooney & Mortimer, 1999;Smith et al, 2000;Tang, 1997), marrying early (Michael & Tuma, 1985), bearing children early (Wu & Martinson, 1993), and entering the labor force prior to the completion of school (Chen & Kaplan, 1999). Many African American youth who are low income in the United States' poor, urban neighborhoods do not perceive a good future and have substantial adult responsibilities.…”

Early Entries Into Adult Roles

This study examines how early entries into adult roles are associated with aggressive and violent behavior occurring from early adolescence to young adulthood among 499 males and 578 females living in low-income, centralcity neighborhoods. Among males, engagement in adult roles accounted for the relationship between higher levels of aggressive behavior during early adolescence and violence in young adulthood. Males who lived independently and males who were behind in school or not in school at age 19 and 20 years (regardless of labor force participation) were at increased risk of engaging in violence in young adulthood. Among females, the positive association between early adolescent aggressive behavior and violence in young adulthood persisted even after accounting for involvement in adult roles. For females, parenthood and independent living were associated with involvement in violence during young adulthood in varying ways depending on labor force participation.Keywords: early adult roles; aggressive behavior; low income, urban youth C hildhood and adolescent aggression is an important risk factor for delinquent and violent behaviors occurring later in the life course (Broidy et al.
