Job Qualification, Distance between Towns and Geographical Relocation for French Youth

Abstract

Geographical mobility of professionally active youth is often considered as an attribute of the most qualified among them. Nevertheless, joint consideration of geographical relocation at an infraregional scale and of the distance travelled in migration between cities shows that the spatial mobility of youth towards the least-qualified jobs is not only non-negligible, but displays substantial amplitude. Even so, mobility behaviour still differs according to the qualification level of the targeted employment and is particularly dependent on territorial characteristics as well.
