Spatial Mobility, Migration, and Living Arrangements

"It approaches migration from several scientific views, with particular emphasis on social sciences and demography. The book also examines both international and internal aspects of migration. ... Summing up: all the 11 articles are interesting and of high quality, binding together spatial movement and life course events. ... The book can be recommended especially for graduate students and researchers in the field." (Ismo Soderling, Nordic Journal of Migration Research, Vol. 6 (3), 2016) "This volume addresses various kinds of spatial mobility (commuting, residential mobility, migration) and their connections with living arrangements. ... the book does bring together some very nice pieces of empirical research. Most of this research is original work not published elsewhere ... . The book furthermore presents a nice mixture of quantitative and qualitative work, which adds to its attractiveness. ... This book provides welcome examples of the type of research we need to understand this growing complexity." (Clara H. Mulder, European Journal of Population/Revue europeenne de Demographie, Vol. 31, 2015)
