Abstract: This article empirically investigates city-bound migration among Swedish youths, born in 1965, by using a database containing the entire Swedish population (1985-95). The findings suggest that city-bound migration is fairly common among youths in Sweden; 15 per cent of the cohort performed such a migration. Women migrated to a larger extent than did men and were more influenced by educational and class variables. Having a family significantly decreased the likelihood of women's city-bound migration, but had no significant effect on men's. To migrate into a city-region was for many a temporary move; one-third of the migrants subsequently moved out and the majority returned to their home regions.
