“…Fischer and Malmberg 2001). As such, the "magnetizing effect" of family serves as an attraction for individuals to remain in an area or move elsewhere (Mulder and Gillespie 2021), including returns to one's birth region after moving away or toward other places close to family (e.g., Gillespie, Mulder, and von Reichert 2021;Hedman 2013;Mulder, Lundholm, and Malmberg 2020;Spring et al 2017).…”

This study draws on panel data from the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey ( N = 1,128) to examine whether and how family and friends living close-by are associated with individuals’ interneighborhood residential mobility. Additional analyses tap into why individuals’ proportion of nearby kin and friends are linked to their mobility. The results suggest that individuals’ perceptions of their neighborhood are patterned by whether or not they have family—and to a lesser extent friends—who live locally. The absence of nearby family is associated with leaving the neighborhood, but the direct effects do not hold for nearby friends. However, the role of friends does become important in the absence of family ties. The results also indicate that having nearby friends moderates the relationship between neighborhood satisfaction and moving away.

“…However, research on the role of siblings in internal migration lags behind a growing number of studies on the role of adult children as the motive for migration. Some noteworthy exceptions to this trend have recently focused on the role of siblings in the migration choices of young adults ( Mulder et al, 2020a , 2020b ). Additionally, existing studies about family proximity-enhancing moves, also known as geographic convergence ( Silverstein, 1995 ), often ignore older adults who do not have children.…”

Objectives Research on the role of siblings in older adult migration lags behind a growing number of studies on adult children as a mobility attraction. We attend to this gap by examining (i) to what extent the absence of partners and/or adult children influences older adults’ (age 70-84) migration toward faraway siblings (at least 50 km away) and (ii) how these migrations are patterned by the location of other family members (children, other siblings, and nephews/nieces). Methods We use multinomial logistic regression models and analyze dyads of older adults and all distant siblings from the Swedish population register data between 2012 and 2016 (N = 1,743,234). We control for several characteristics of older adults and their siblings that may impact the decision to move closer, including sociodemographic characteristics and measures of location-specific capital. Results Widowed, divorced, and never married older adults were more likely to move closer to distant siblings than those with a partner. Not having children was associated with a higher likelihood of moving toward a sibling. Living near adult children or other siblings deterred relocation toward siblings, while family clustered at a distance reinforced the location’s attractiveness for migration. Discussion As declines in fertility broadly reflect people’s decisions to have fewer children or forego having families, siblings might emerge as more active players in the family networks of older adults. Our research indicates that siblings can be a destination for migration and, therefore, should be considered as important members of social networks of older adults, especially those who do not have partners and/or adult children available.

“…First and foremost, return migrants listed their parents as the focal point of the return to move (Mulder & Lundholm, 2020). This is supported by Hussain et al (2017), where family reason was indicated as the main motivation in returning to the rural areas due to responsibility factor.…”

“…Reverse migration can be caused by difficult conditions such as poor salaries, or unemployment (Mulder & Lundholm, 2020). All commercial businesses have closed their operations due to the nationwide lockdown, resulting in unemployment and people returning to their hometowns or villages (Chakma, 2020).…”

“…This study adds to the literature by focusing on the determinant factors in reverse migration. Numerous studies on the factors that have influenced migrants to return to rural areas, mainly following family (Crow, 2010;Cattaneo and Robinson, 2020;Mulder and Lundholm, 2020;Mohapatra and Jha, 2020;Space et al, 2014;Harrison, 2018;Ikegami & Tsuruta, 2017;Hussain et al, 2017;Kanai, 2016;Farrell et al, 2012). Other scholars emphasize occupation, environment, economic reason, quality of life, and social aspect motivations as factors that could also influence migrants to migrate back to rural areas.…”

Reverse migration in Malaysia is a relatively new emerging phenomenon where the migrants have intentionally chosen to return to their hometown for better living. Thus, there is a considerable demand to investigate the determinants that lead to these changing trends of population mobility in Malaysia. This study adopts the systematic literature review to identify the determinant factors of reverse migration. The aim is to analyze empirical studies to determine factors in reverse migration. Consequently, the findings discovered several determinants namely following family, career, environment, economic reason, quality of life, and social aspect as the driving factors towards achieving subsistence living.
