“…The research to date has shown that demographic contexts (family structure), union formation and dissolution (family change), and to a lesser extent, neighborhood contexts, all play a role in whether or not a household will move (see amongst many studies Clark and Dieleman,1996; Clark, 2013; Dewilde, 2008; Kley, 2015, Mulder and Wagner, 1998, Mulder and Wagner, 2012; Mulder and Malmberg, 2014; Michelin et al, 2008). A recent summary of research stresses how living arrangements are at the core of decisions about where to live and when to move (Aybek et al, 2014). Unanticipated events too, either within the family or external to it, also play important roles in creating residential change (Coulter et al, 2011; Clark and Lisowski, 2016; Clark, 2016).…”

There is now a substantial body of research which examines the process of making decisions about moving. The questions of interest in that work and in this study using US data are, first, how do life course changes get translated into intentions to move, and second, to what extent are intentions realized or unrealized. This study extends previous work by considering a longer interval in the planning process, and by examining how life cycle changes create intentions, which in turn are translated, or not, into actual moves. We study the antecedents of the expressed intention to move and the outcomes which follow the expressed intention to move. We test the process of forming intentions and moving in the context of life course events and changes. We find that the subset of variables which create the intention to move vary subtly from the variables which create moves, though the triggering effects of family composition change are critical dimensions of both creating intentions and fulfilling those intentions by moving.

“…More recent studies, however, have shown that the prevalence of transnational partnerships among Turkish migrants in Belgium has been declining, making local co-ethnic partnerships the most preferred (Lievens et al 2013). This trend echoes a similar decline in the Netherlands (Loozen, De Valk, and Wobma 2012; CBS 2015), Sweden (Carol, Ersanilli, and Wagner 2014), and Germany (Aybek, Straßburger, and Yüksel-Kaptanoğlu 2015), although the predominance of transnational partnerships in Germany has been lower than in other countries (Carol, Ersanilli, and Wagner 2014). Recent policy changes implemented throughout Europe to reduce immigration, especially partner migration, may partially explain this decline.…”

This article describes an unprecedented decline in transnational partnerships among Turkish migrants in Flanders, using population data on all marriages between 2001 and 2008. Studying parental preferences regarding partner selection, we examine attitudinal mechanisms behind this decline. Based on a representative survey, our first result is that (direct) parental involvement in partner selection is lower among the more recent marriage cohorts. Second, parents and adolescents have moved away from a focus on the origin country in partner selection, while ethnic homogamy remains preferred. Third, openness toward mixed partnerships is found among a small but salient proportion of parents and associated with the religious attendance of male parents. We conclude that an attitudinal shift has occurred from a focus on the origin country to an orientation toward the local (ethnic) community. This decline in transnational partnerships is more a product of intense attitudinal change than a reflection of a policy change in the direction of discouraging partner migration and has implications for the integration and demographic characteristics of Turkish ethnic minorities in Flemish society. Additionally, international migration patterns are affected as the character of long-lasting migration from Turkey to Europe is changing and partner migration, one of the most accessible channels to enter Europe, is rapidly decreasing.

“…These are the goals and values that people are striving to realize via migration (de Jong and Fawcett 1981), for instance, to improve occupational career prospects or to live close to a loved one. Therefore, within this model, migration is clearly understood as instrumental behaviour for realizing life course goals (see Willekens 1987Willekens , 2015Aybek et al 2015), which makes the model well suited for S38 Stefanie Kley the analysis of migration within a life course framework.…”

Behavioural models of migration emphasize the importance of migration decision-making for the explanation of subsequent behaviour. But empirical migration research regularly finds considerable gaps between those who intend to migrate and those who actually realize their intention. This paper applies the Theory of Planned Behaviour, enriched by the Rubicon model, to test specific hypotheses about distinct effects of facilitators and constraints on specific stages of migration decision-making and behaviour. The data come from a tailor-made panel survey based on random samples of people drawn from two German cities in 2006-07. The results show that in conventional models the effects of facilitators and constraints on migration decision-making are likely to be underestimated. Splitting the process of migration decision-making into a pre-decisional and a pre-actional phase helps to avoid bias in the estimated effects of facilitators and constraints on both migration decision-making and migration behaviour.
