Original Kurzfassung:
Using data for 1991 to 1997 from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS),
this research investigates the reasons to move house and the extent and determinants of
house moves. In particular, we examine the relationships between labour market dynamics
and residential mobility. Panel data allow the study of the sequence of household moves and
individual labour market status changes, enabling unique analysis of the relationship
between residential and job mobility. Our findings suggest that the unemployed are more
likely to move than employees. This supports the classical economic hypothesis that
individuals move to escape unemployment, and suggests that the unemployed are not
immobile. A desire to move motivated by employment reasons has the single largest
positive impact on the probability of moving between regions.
