A dynamic analysis of migration: an assessment of the effects of age, family and career variables

G D Sandefur et al. Demography. 1981 Aug.

Abstract

This paper examines the utility of viewing migration in the context of work careers and family life cycles. We do this by studying migration as a discrete state, continuous time process. We find that the inverse relationship between age and migration is due almost completely to the effects of family life cycle and work career variables. Further, we find that job- or location-specific resources, prestige and wage deter migration.
