Changing Spatial Patterns of Internal Migration in Germany
A key characteristic of developed societies is population ageing, driven by low fertility and rising life expectancy. In this context, migration has become an increasingly important driver of population change and its spatial distribution. While several studies have examined the impact of population ageing on overall migration intensities, far fewer have investigated how regional population ageing affects spatial patterns of internal migration. U…
Working from home and health complaints
Background: With the increase in the prevalence of working from home (WFH), understanding its impact on health has become more relevant. However, the possibility that health effects may depend on the specific WFH arrangement has largely been ignored in research. Objective: The aim of this study is to offer a differentiated view of WFH by distinguishing between informal overtime at home and telework during recognized working time when assessing it…
The Income Returns of Moving for Work
The positive link between work‐related moves and income is well‐established, but little robust evidence exists on whether the distance moved matters in this relationship. There are, however, theoretical arguments on why distance should shape the economic rewards from moving for work. To address this research gap, we draw on longitudinal data from the German Socio‐Economic Panel (SOEP, N = 154,236 person‐years). We employ fixed effects panel regre…
No place for young women? The impact of internal migration on adult sex ratios in rural East Germany
Shortages of women in rural areas occur in many highly urbanized countries. Rural East Germany is an ideal case for studying this phenomenon because of its low adult sex ratio (ASR)-men greatly outnumber women-coupled with high outmigration among young adults. This study identifies how internal migration between rural and urban areas contributes to the shortage of young adult women. We use data on inter-county migration flows (for years 2002-21) …
Who blames Brexit for their decision to leave the UK? The departure of skilled Germans from Britain after the referendum
Brexit created uncertainty for migrants living in the UK and a potential reason to leave the country. Some of the consequences of the Brexit referendum, such as the loss of skilled workers, may have been unintended. This article investigates the relevance of Brexit for German migrants who decided to return to Germany from the UK in the two years following the 2016 referendum. Our analysis relies on a register-based probability sample of German mi…

The impact of the Covid‐19 pandemic on internal migration in Germany
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected economies, labor markets, health care, education and tourism around the globe in unprecedented ways. However, little research has yet been devoted to the impact that the pandemic might have had on internal migration. This study aims to address this gap by determining how the intensity and spatial patterns of internal migration changed between 2019 and 2020 in Germany. We draw on data from the population register…
Work-related internal migration and changes in mental and physical health
Years of East-West Migration in Germany
The reunification of the socialist German Democratic Republic and the capitalist Federal Republic of Germany presents a unique setting for studying the impact of socio-economic and political change on migration. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the interdisciplinary literature on migration between East and West Germany since reunification, conducted in disciplines such as economics, demography, sociology, and human geography. We synt…
Does weekend commuting really pay off? A panel analysis with German data
Second homes and weekend commuting are frequently used strategies for covering large distances between the place of work and residence. The literature posits a positive association between work‐related spatial mobility, social mobility, and career achievement. However, so far, surprisingly little attention has been paid explicitly to the relationship between weekend commuting (i.e. work‐related residential multi‐locality) and social and career mo…
Who experiences subjective job insecurity due to digital transformation in Germany
In many countries, digitalization is accompanied by disruptive changes in the labor market, including polarization in employment and wages as well as a decrease in employment growth. However, little is known about the individual (micro-level) consequences of digitalization, especially regarding differently affected subgroups. In this study, we investigate the relevance of digitalization, as measured by the task-based substitution potential of occ…
Internal migration and housing costs—A panel analysis for Germany
The emergent crisis of affordable urban housing coupled with a sustained decline in internal migration rates in many Western countries warrants a thorough exploration of the relation between housing costs and internal migration. Although it is well established that housing is an important contextual determinant of migration flows, little attention has thus far been paid to the ways in which rising housing costs shape internal migration. In this p…
Familienkonstellation und Bildungserfolg. Welche Rolle spielen ökonomisches, kulturelles und Sozialkapital
Die Familienkonstellation, in der Kinder und Jugendliche aufwachsen, hängt deutlich mit deren Bildungserfolg zusammen. Dieser Zusammenhang ist jedoch zu beträchtlichen Teilen über die Ressourcenausstattung unterschiedlicher Familienkonstellationen vermittelt. Genaue Analysen dieser Zusammenhänge stehen jedoch noch aus, auch deshalb, weil die Familienkonstellation häufig nicht ausreichend differenziert erfasst wird. Dieser Beitrag untersucht anhan…
The turnaround in internal migration between East and West Germany over the period 1991 to 2018
After losing a population of more than 1.2 million through migration to the West, in 2017 East Germany recorded net internal migration gains for the very first time since reunification
The Impact of Internal Migration on the Spatial Distribution of Population in Germany over the Period 1991-2017
In 1885 and 1889 Ravenstein published two seminal papers on the role of migration in changing population distribution. This article analyses the importance of internal migration for shaping the spatial population distribution of Germany in the last three decades. We use a time-series dataset of annual inter-county migration flows from the German population register for the years 1991 to 2017. Population density is used as proxy measure for settle…
Concerns regarding immigration in Germany
This article analyzes how anti-immigrant attitudes shift when individuals experience changes in their subjective and objective economic situations. To do this, we use data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (GSOEP, N ≈ 14,700) and apply fixed-effects multinomial logit panel regression models as a statistical framework. The social identity approach is applied as a theoretical perspective to explain how individual incidents can lead to grou…
Soziale Mobilität in Deutschland revisited
Inter- und intragenerationale soziale Mobilität / Inter- and Intra-generational Social Mobility
In diesem Beitrag wird soziale Mobilität auf der Basis von Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) analysiert. Die Modellierung von Wachstumskurven als Mehrebenenansatz ermçglicht es, eine Reihe von Problemen der bisherigen Forschung anzugehen und eine simultane Analyse von inter- und intragenerationaler Mobilität durchzuführen. Die Befunde verdeutlichen, dass die soziale Mobilität nach dem Abschluss der Ausbildung deutlich nachlässt und vom …
