“…We found a negative association between age and mentioning ties to family and friends. This may relate to the finding from a qualitative work by Fuster et al ( 2020 ) that a strong reliance on family support makes young adults in Spain want to remain close to family members. We found a positive association between age and mentioning ties to work.…”

“…At the same time, many Spanish young adults rely on family support during the early stages of their residential and labour market careers. This reliance on family may motivate them to remain close to family until they reach a certain level of autonomy (Fuster et al, 2020 ). Thus, although age likely plays an important role in migration decisions, there is no clear reason to expect to observe a particular age pattern in the likelihood of citing ties to family and friends as constraints to migration.…”

“…Employment Family and friends are known to provide people with support in precarious situations, such as help with job hunting or temporary housing (Thomassen, 2021 ), or financial assistance (Fuster et al, 2020 ). Therefore, we expect people who are currently unemployed or have a temporary contract to be more likely to mention family and friends as constraints to migration than people with a permanent contract.…”

Local Ties as Self-Reported Constraints to Internal Migration in Spain

et al. 2023

The internal migration literature has identified various factors that deter migration and encourage staying, but has been less concerned with people’s own reports about what makes it difficult for them to migrate or makes them want to stay. We explore factors that make it difficult to change the place of residence—from here on denoted as constraints—reported in the Spanish survey on Attitudes and Expectations of Spatial Mobility in the Labour Force (N = 3892). These constraints were uniquely asked from all respondents through an open-ended question, regardless of their migration intentions. We find that many self-reported constraints correspond to factors that have previously been associated with decreased migration propensities. In order of frequency, respondents reported ties to family and friends, ties to their residential environment, financial limitations, and ties to work as constraints to migration. Our results further show that the likelihood of mentioning ties to family and friends as constraints decreased with age, was higher for women than for men and for people who lived close to most of their social network than for those who did not. Mentioning ties to the residential environment as constraints was positively associated with being partnered, and also with living in one’s birthplace. People who were unemployed were less likely to mention ties to work and were more likely to report financial limitations as constraints than people who had a permanent contract—whereas being self-employed was positively associated with mentioning ties to the residential environment.

“…El otro conjunto de factores hace referencia en las diferencias culturales y, complementariamente, institucionales: las aspiraciones y prácticas familiares, en el marco de los respectivos sistemas de bienestar estatales (Arundel y Lennartz, 2017;Fuster et al 2020). Esta aproximación está muy vinculada al debate sobre la existencia de normas sociales sobre la edad apropiada para la emancipación (Billari y Liefbroer, 2007; Aassve, Arpino y Billari, 2013).…”

Diferentes investigaciones muestran cómo la conducta residencial y la emancipación de los jóvenes se ve afectada por factores culturales y las trayectorias migratorias previas. Nuestro objetivo es analizar las diferencias en los discursos sobre la emancipación entre jóvenes autóctonos e inmigrantes en España. Para ello nos apoyamos en datos de dos encuestas diferentes, y especialmente en una investigación cualitativa a partir de entrevistas y grupos de discusión. Los resultados muestran que la emancipación de los inmigrantes es más temprana, y esta decisión es naturalizada por los mismos quienes perciben como acomodaticia la emancipación tardía de los españoles. Al mismo tiempo es fuente de autorrealización y orgullo en tanto que muestra su independencia y capacidad. Cultura y trayectorias residenciales son elementos centrales de este comportamiento y deben ser introducidas como contrapeso a los factores económicos y de seguridad vital, que en este caso no son tan relevantes.

“…For example, in Spain, the majority of young adults found their jobs through family in the early 1990s (Mendras 1997), and for the Madrid region in 2013, it was found that family and friends were the most effective way of fi nding a job (Alva et al 2017). Also in Spain, family support plays a prominent role in achieving labour and residential independence and works as a resource in situations of labour market vulnerability (Fuster et al 2020) and therefore might be limiting mobility of kin. Indeed, some authors have linked the low internal migration rates in Spain to this need for family support, particularly among households with children (Méndez 2015;Recaño Valverde 2015).…”

Internal Migration, Living Close to Family, and Individual Labour Market Outcomes in Spain

Migration is often viewed as a way to enhance occupational careers. However, particularly in Mediterranean countries, labour market outcomes may also depend on local family resources. We investigate how men’s and women’s labour market outcomes differ between (1) those who migrated and those who did not; and (2) those who live close to family and those who live farther away. Our main contributions are the investigation of the association between migration and labour market outcomes in a different context than the more commonly studied Northern and Western European countries and the United States, and of the role of living close to family in labour market outcomes. We used a sample of labour market participants from the “Attitudes and Expectations About Mobility” survey, conducted in Spain in 2019. Our results show that the likelihood of being a professional is greater for women who migrated than for those who did not, and that the likelihood of being unemployed or in a temporary job is lower for women who live close to family than for those who do not, but neither association was found for men. The finding for living close to family is in line with the notion that nearby family may protect women in particular from precarious labour market positions. The finding for migration differs from previous findings for Northern and Western Europe and the United States, which indicate that migration is beneficial to men in particular. This difference might be specific to a low-migration context, but data limitations prevent firm conclusions.
