Abstract: In this chapter, we use quantitative and qualitative retrospective data to construct individual high mobility histories. We address four specific questions: (1) What are the main patterns of high mobility history in Europe and their socio-demographic determinants? (2) To what extent and for what people is high mobility a life stage? (3) To what extent is high mobility perceived as a long-term practice? (4) What are the effects of high mobility histories on the work situation, in particular, are highly mobile people more successful in their career?
