Abstract

This paper models migration probabilities in a duration context, where migration may occur at the end of an observed residence spell. The analysis is based on a sample of young women in rural locations in France, and relates to their first move after leaving full-time education. We distinguish between residence spells that end in long- as compared to short-distance moves. The results for women are compared with those in an earlier analysis for men. Single women are found to be significantly less likely than non-single (for example, married) women to move, and this effect is stronger than the corresponding effect for men. Women appear to develop weaker job attachments than men over time, but stronger attachments to their home. Finally, women appear to respond less strongly than men to employment status transitions.
