Migration after union dissolution in the United States: The role of non-resident family.

Separation from a spouse or cohabiting partner is associated with a high likelihood of moving, even over long distances. In this paper, we use longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics for the United States to analyze the role of non-resident family in the migration of separated people immediately after and in the years following union dissolution. We explore both migration in general and return migration among separated people, drawing comparisons to married and never-married people.

Geographical Distances Between Separated Parents: A Longitudinal Analysis.

Using detailed geocoded microdata from the British Household Panel Survey and longitudinal random-effects models, we analyse the determinants and trajectories of geographical distances between separated parents. Findings of particular note include the following: (1) post-separation linked lives, proximities and spatial constraints are characterised by important gender asymmetries; (2) the formation of new post-separation family ties (i.e.

A PROSPECTIVE ON ZELINSKY'S .

Wilbur Zelinsky's 1971 paper in Geographical Review entitled the "Hypothesis of the Mobility Transition" was both forward-looking and offered innovative ideas regarding human geographic mobility. One of the most interesting aspects of the paper was a set of predictions for mobility in a "future superadvanced society". Many of these predictions have now come to pass, including a general decline in international and internal migration and residential change, the increasing regulation of migration - especially internally, and the possibility that the widespread adoption of information and communication technologies has impacted human geographic mobility.

A longitudinal analysis of family migration and the gender gap in earnings in the United States and Great Britain.

This article uses longitudinal data for the United States and Great Britain to examine the impact of residential mobility and childbirth on the earnings of women, their family earnings, and the related division of earnings by gender. This project is the first to compare explicitly the impact of childbirth and family migration on women's earnings, and it extends prior cross-sectional and longitudinal studies on isolated countries by providing a direct contrast between two major industrialized nations, using comparable measures. The results indicate that families respond in similar ways in both countries to migration and childbirth.
