| Annotation | The main research aim of this project was the investigation of links between kinship and migration, including how residential mobility and migration reflect changes in household structure. The research concentrated on household events most likely to lead to migration: the break-up of marital and cohabiting relationships, and the needs of older people for care. Investigations were based on re-analysis of major data sources, notably the Household Sample of Anonymised Records (SARs) from the 1991 Census, and the Social Change and Economic Life Initiative (SCELI) dataset. In-depth interviews were also carried out with 57 people who had experienced the break-up of marital and cohabiting relationships, and their consideration of older people's needs for care. Conclusions drawn differed between qualitative and quantitative analyses. Most of the time, kinship considerations were central, with family responsibilities emerging as important - but these did not necessarily dominate decisions about moving. (RH). |
