Understanding Immobility: Moving Beyond the Mobility Bias in Migration Studies (2020, background): “As Fischer and Malmberg (2001) claim in their study of (im)mobility across the life course in Sweden, “settled people don’t move”; they find that the longer someone lives in a place, the stronger his or her ties to other people and projects, and the less likely he or she is to leave them.”
Family Events and the Residential Mobility of Couples (2008, result): “The results reported by Mulder and Wagner (1993) show that the vast majority of moves (both short and long distance) take place in a short time interval around marriage.”
Life Events and the Gap between Intention to Move and Actual Mobility (2011, background): “Becoming unemployed is often difficult to foresee and, although this event does not necessarily imply a move, previous research has documented a positive relationship between job loss and the incidence of moving (Fischer and Malmberg, 2001).”
