Abstract

This chapter uses longitudinal data from France, Germany, Spain and Switzerland to explore how people adapt practices and perceptions of high mobility to family events and, vice versa, how high mobility influences the likelihood of having a child or separating from a partner. The following research questions are proposed: (1)Are long high mobility histories associated with late/reduced fertility or infertility? (2)Does having a child or separating from a partner change high mobility practices and dispositions to high mobility? (3)Does having been highly mobile or willing to being highly mobile influence the subsequent likelihood of having a child or separating from a partner? (4)Finally, are there gender and cross-national differences in these questions?
