背景虽然关于婚姻解体后的居住流动性和迁移的研究有限，但特别缺乏详细讨论影响解体可能导致长途迁移的因素的研究。目的他的研究分离并确定了在婚姻关系解体后立即影响州际迁移的过程。方法使用1975年至2011年美国收入动态小组研究(PSID)的数据估计婚姻解体后州际迁移概率的多水平Logit模型。结果支持家庭迁移的性别模型，研究结果表明，分居父母的迁徙受有共同或共同子女的父母需要保持地理位置接近的限制，这表明分居的父母比没有子女的前配偶更不可能迁徙，即使在他们的婚姻结束后，前任伴侣的迁徙决定也可能通过他们的子女保持联系。由于与父母分居的儿童数量以及共同或共同监护权的父母数量都在增加，这很可能在美国移民率的长期下降中发挥了一定作用。
BACKGROUNDWhile there is a limited body of research regarding residential mobility and migration following union dissolution, there is a particular dearth of studies that go into detail about the factors that shape how union dissolution may result in long-distance migration.OBJECTIVEThis research isolates and identifies the processes that influence inter-state migration in the period immediately following the dissolution of a marital union.METHODSMultilevel logit models of the probability of inter-state migration following the dissolution of marital unions are estimated using data drawn from the 1975 through 2011 US Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID).RESULTSThe results provide support for a gendered model of family migration, indicate that separated parents are less likely to migrate than ex-partners without children, and suggest that the migration decisions of former partners may remain linked through their children even after the end of their union.CONCLUSIONSThese results indicate that the migration of separated parents is constrained by the need for parents with joint or shared children to remain in close geographic proximity to each other. Since both the number of children living with separated parents and the number of those parents with joint or shared custody are increasing, it is likely that this plays some role in the long-term decline in US migration rates.
