本文是在两个新兴的研究领域的交汇处：在国内移徙研究和地理更广泛的生命过程的方法和研究内的生命过程研究的亚人口。本文旨在更好地理解英国族群移民的复杂性，特别是为什么一些族群的年轻人在居住上比其他族群更具移动的。本文借鉴了向成年过渡的规范理论。使用了按年龄和族裔群体分列的英国人口普查微观数据。该文件显示了种族的相似之处：与其他年龄段相比，青年期的国内移徙模式是独特的，而且住宅流动有许多共同的特点。然而，各族裔群体之间在国内移徙的程度以及青年人的生活事件与移徙的关系方面也存在差异。特别是，伙伴关系增加了白色英国年轻人的居住流动性，但减少了南亚年轻人的流动性，在这两种情况下，女性都是“伙伴关系的推动者”。学生身份增加了英国和中国白色年轻人的居住流动性，但减少了黑人和南亚族裔群体年轻人的流动性（特别是巴基斯坦族裔群体的女性）。这就提出了接受高等教育的问题。本文的结论是，生命历程的角度提供了一个了解种族差异的内部迁移，以前缺乏从“隔离”的角度。
This paper is situated at the confluence of two emerging areas of research: a lifecourse approach in internal migration studies and in geography more broadly and studies of sub-populations within lifecourse research. The paper aims to better understand the complexities of ethnic group migration in Britain, in particular why young adults of some ethnic groups are more residentially mobile than others. The paper draws on theories of norms of transition to adulthood. UK Census microdata of migration within Britain by age and ethnic group are used. The paper shows ethnic similarities: internal migration patterns that are distinct in young adulthood compared with other ages and many common characteristics of residential mobility. However, there are also differences between ethnic groups in levels of internal migration and in how young adult life events are associated with migration. In particular, partnership brings increased residential mobility for White British young adults but reduced mobility for South Asian young adults with females in both cases being the 'partnership movers'. Being a student increases residential mobility for White British and Chinese young adults but reduces mobility for young adults from Black and South Asian ethnic groups (particularly for females in the Pakistani ethnic group). This raises issues of access to higher education. The paper concludes that a lifecourse perspective provides an understanding of ethnic differences in internal migration that were previously lacking from 'segregation' perspectives.
