对地理流动的研究通常分为对居住流动的研究和对移徙的研究，前者被认为是由家庭因素驱动的，后者被认为是由迁移带来的实现经济收益的机会驱动的。我们采用生命历程方法和1999年至2005年3月《当前人口调查年度社会经济增刊》的数据来调查美国成年人居住流动和移民的年龄轨迹。我们发现流动轨迹和动机因经济地位和家庭地位而异；生活质量动机和家庭因素在长途和短途搬家中占很大比例；而且，迁居和移民都与迁居后一年经济不稳定、家庭和就业变化的风险增加有关。版权所有(c) 2008约翰威利父子有限公司
Studies of geographical mobility are typically divided into studies of residential mobility, which are assumed to be motivated by family factors, and studies of migration, which are assumed to be motivated by the opportunities for realising economic gains as a result of the move. We use a life course approach and data from the 1999-2005 March Annual Social and Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey to investigate the age trajectories of both residential mobility and migration among American adults. We find that mobility trajectories and motivations for moves vary by economic status and family status; that quality of life motivations and family factors account for a substantial proportion of long-distance as well as shortdistance moves; and that both residential mobility and migration are associated with an increased risk of economic instability and family and employment changes in the year following the move.
