title: Migration and marital status.  The case of Switzerland.
abstract: "The present study describes...a part of the interrelation of living arrangements and migration:  The connection between marital status and spatial mobility.  Moreover, the significance of the reasons for family migration will be assessed.  [Section] 2 covers the relationship between family or household structure and change of residence and refers to the findings of other studies.  The third [section] presents the empirical findings which are to be seen against the background of changing household and family patterns in Switzerland over the last 20 to 30 years.  With the aid of aggregated data from censuses and population registration offices, the differences in migratory behaviour by socio-demographic characteristics are first shown:  by age, sex, marital status and nationality.  In addition, a distinction is made between intercommune, intercantonal and international migration.  The initial findings of the descriptive analysis are followed by multivariate statistics produced with the aid of microdata from the Swiss Labour Force Survey." (SUMMARY IN FRE AND GER)
