MIGRATION AND UNEMPLOYMENT DURATION AMONG YOUNG ADULTS

Adrian J. Bailey

Papers in Regional Science, 1994, vol. 73, issue 3, 289-307

Abstract: ABSTRACT The relationship between migration and unemployment duration is examined. Standard job predictors of spell length (replacement income, labor force experience, personal characteristics and economic conditions) are included as control variables alongside measures of migration in a Weibull hazard model. The model is estimated using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Young adults who migrated while unemployed had longer durations of unemployment than those who did not migrate. The rate at which they found jobs was also linked to how long they had been unemployed, to being laid off, being African American, to going to college, having a mortgage and of national unemployment conditions.
