title: Retirement migration decision making: life course mobility, sequencing of events, social ties and alternatives.
abstract: The authors analyze post-retirement migration trends and the decision-making processes that determine this behavior. "We will deal here with issues which indicate not only who among pre-retirees are likely to relocate upon retirement, but also when in the pre-retirement phase decisions about the move are made and the role which individuals' ties to specific places and the characteristics of places themselves play in the decision-making process." Data are from a pilot study conducted in North Carolina in 1992.
