This research used geocoded data from 11 waves (2000-2010) of the German Socio-economic Panel Study to investigate the spatial distances of young adults' initial move-outs (N=2113) from their parents' homes. Linear regression models predicted moving distances by factors at individual, family, household, and community level. Overall, home leavers moved across very small distances with a median value of less than 10km. Greater distances were found for well-educated and childless home leavers who moved out at relatively young ages from high-income households located in less-urbanized regions. In line with developmental models of migration, young adults stayed closer if the parental household was still located at their place of childhood. We conclude that considering the spatial distance of move-outs may advance our understanding of individual passages to adulthood and intergenerational relations across the life course.
本研究利用德国社会经济面板研究的 11 个波次（2000-2010 年）的地理编码数据，调查了年轻人首次搬离父母家的空间距离（N=2113）。线性回归模型通过个体、家庭、家庭和社区层面的因素预测了搬离的距离。总体而言，离开家的人搬家的距离非常小，中位数不到 10 公里。受过良好教育且没有孩子的离开家的人距离较远，他们相对年轻就从高收入家庭搬到了城市化程度较低的地区。符合迁移的发展模型，如果父母的家庭仍在他们童年的地方，年轻人就会待得更近。我们得出的结论是，考虑搬离的空间距离可能会增进我们对个体成年过渡和整个生命周期中代际关系的理解。
