Abstract

Bramley G., Champion T. and Fisher T. (2006) Exploring the household impacts of migration in Britain using panel survey data, Regional Studies 40, 907-926. This paper explores the relationship between migration and household formation drawing on British panel data. The starting point is a hypothesis that migration might be associated with higher rates of separate household formation. The paper asks whether this is the case, how this comes about, and why. Using data from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), this paper assesses this link and explores two distinct approaches to measuring it based on household headship rates and household transitions. Descriptive data show an apparently strong link, at least for younger age groups. The transitions approach provides more insights into how migration affects different kinds of household-changing events. The paper offers hypotheses about possible causal effects, and goes on to use multivariate models to explain the levels of and changes in household status in a simultaneous framework. It finds that the apparent association between new household formation and migration reflects both common background factors underlying general mobility and unmeasured selection or experience factors that may act causally in both directions, while also identifying distinct factors more specifically associated with migration or new household formation. Bramley G., Champion T. et Fisher T. (2006) Un examen de l'impact sur les menages de la migration en Grande-Bretagne a partir d'une enquete permanente, Regional Studies 40, 907-926. Puisant dans des donnees provenant d'une enquete sur la Grande-Bretagne, cet article cherche a examiner le rapport entre la migration et l'etablissement des menages. Le point de depart est l'hypothese suivant: il se peut que la migration se rapporte aux taux plus eleves de l'etablissement des menages separes. L'article examine si, oui ou non, c'est le cas, comment cela survient, et pour quelles raisons. A partir des donnees provenant de la British Household Panel Survey (une enquete permanente aupres des menages en Grande-Bretagne), cet article cherche a evaluer ce lien et examine deux approches tout a fait differentes de le mesurer, fondees sur la taille des menages et sur la transition menagere. Des donnees descriptives laissent voir un lien qui semble etre fort, du moins pour ce qui est des classes d'age plus jeunes. L'approche, qui porte sur la notion de transition, fournit des apercus sur la facon dont la migration touche des evenements differents qui ont une incidence sur les menages. L'article fournit des hypotheses concernant les effets causaux eventuels, et il s'ensuit l'emploi des modeles a plusieurs variables afin d'expliquer dans un cadre simultane les niveaux et les changements du statut des menages. Il s'avere que le rapport evident entre l'etablissement des nouveaux menages et la migration reflete a la fois des facteurs communs quant aux origines de la situation qui etayent la mobilite generale, et une selection non-quantifiee de facteurs d'experience qui pourraient operer dans les deux sens pour ce qui est de la causalite, en identifiant aussi des facteurs distincts qui se rapportent plus etroitement a la migration ou a l'etablissement des nouveaux menages. Migration Grande-Bretagne Croissance des menages Enquete permanente aupres des menges en Grande-Bretagne Bramley G., Champion T. und Fisher T. (2006) Untersuchung der Auswirkungen von Migration auf Haushalte in Grossbritannien mit Hilfe von Datenlisten der Haushaltserhebung Regional Studies 40, 907-926. Dieser Aufsatz untersucht die Beziehung zwischen Migration und Haushaltsgrundungen mit Hilfe britischer Datenlisten. Der Ausgangspunkt ist eine Hypothese, dass Migration mit einer hoheren Proportion separater Haushaltsgrundungen in Verbindung zu bringen sei. Dieser Aufsatz fragt, ob dem so ist, wie dies geschieht und warum. Gestutzt auf Daten der britischen Haushaltserhebung (British Household Panel Survey oder BHPS) schatzt der Aufsatz diese Verknupfung und untersucht zwei separate Ansatze zur Messung auf der Grundlage von Haushaltsvorstandsquoten und Haushaltsubergangen. Beschreibende Daten weisen eine starke Verknupfung auf, jedenfalls in den jungeren Altersgruppen. Der Ubergangsansatz liefert bessere Einsichten, inwieweit eine Migration verschiedene Arten Haushalt verandernder Ereignisse beeinflusst. Der Aufsatz legt Hypothesen moglicher Kausalketten vor und benutzt dann mehrfach variable Modelle, um die Ebenen des Haushaltsstatus und gleichzeitig seine Veranderungen in ein und demselben Rahmen zu erklaren. Sein Befund stellt fest, dass die anscheinende Verbindung der Grundung eines neuen Haushalts und Wanderung Faktoren eines beiden gemeinsamen Hintergrundes allgemeiner Mobilitat und die zahlenmassig nicht berucksichtigten Faktoren der Auswahl oder Erfahrung widerspiegelt, die in beiden Richtungen als Ursachen wirken konnen, wahrend sie gleichzeitig auch bestimmte Faktoren herausstellen, die spezifischer mit Wanderung oder Haushaltsneugrundung in Verbindung gebracht werden Migration Grossbritannien Zunahme der Haushalte Britische Haushaltserhebung (BHPS) Bramley G., Champion T. y Fisher T. (2006) Explorando como afecta en los hogares la migracion en Gran Bretana segun los datos de un estudio de panel, Regional Studies 40, 907-926. En este articulo estudiamos la relacion entre la migracion y la creacion de hogares a partir de datos de un panel britanico. El punto de arranque es la hipotesis de que la migracion podria estar relacionada con tasas mas altas de formacion de hogares separados. Aqui nos planteamos si es este el caso, y como y porque ocurre esto. A partir de datos del panel britanico BHPS (British Household Panel Survey), en este documento valoramos este vinculo y analizamos dos planteamientos distintos para medirlo en funcion de las tasas de los principales responsables de la familia y las transiciones en los hogares. Los datos descriptivos indican que existe un vinculo solido por lo menos para los grupos de edades mas jovenes. El planteamiento de las transiciones nos da una mejor idea general de como la migracion puede afectar a los diferentes episodios de cambios en el hogar. Aqui ofrecemos las hipotesis sobre los posibles efectos causales y nos adentramos usando modelos de multivarianza para explicar los niveles y los cambios del estatus en los hogares segun una estructura simultanea. Hallamos que la aparente asociacion entre la formacion de nuevos hogares y la migracion refleja no solo unos factores de fondo comunes que forman la base de la movilidad general, sino tambien factores no medidos de seleccion o experiencia que pueden actuar como causantes en ambas direcciones. Tambien identificamos factores diferenciales que se relacionan de modo mas concreto con la migracion o la creacion de nuevos hogares.
