Career and Geographic Mobility Interactions: Implications for the Age Selectivity of Migration
分析1965-1970年美国州际迁移数据,发现职业流动与地理流动存在显著关联,忽视这种交互会高估年龄对迁移倾向的负面影响。
The age selectivity of migration is often observed in empirical studies of labor mobility in the United States. In this paper [the authors] analyze the interactive dimensions of geographic and career mobility while at the same time examining the associated implications of these interactions for the age selectivity of migration. The analyses deal with interstate migration of employed members of the labor force for the period 1965 to 1970. The results indicate significant connections between geographic and career mobility and that a failure to recognize those interactions overstates the negative influence of age on migration propensity.
