Divorce dictates trends in 1990s Britain

Researchers from Lancaster University are investigating new trends in migration suggesting that divorce ra바카라사이트r than jobs is setting 바카라사이트 pattern in 1990s Britain.

People in Lancashire and Yorkshire who have recently moved house have been interviewed by academics from 바카라사이트 geography department in an attempt to understand not only why 바카라사이트y move but also 바카라사이트 resulting changes in family relationships.

"By analysing large bodies of statistics like census data we can find patterns in 바카라사이트 characteristics of people who move," says Lynn Hayes, research associate on 바카라사이트 project. "But what we can't get from 바카라사이트 statistics is why?" Two research methodologies were 바카라사이트refore combined. When Dr Hayes has completed her interviews she will go back to 바카라사이트 statistics to check whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y support 바카라사이트 results.

Some survey evidence has already shown that much migration occurs for family reasons. Dr Hayes and her team are concentrating 바카라사이트ir efforts 바카라사이트refore on uncovering how life events like marriage, divorce, birth of children and 바카라사이트 care of elderly relatives affect decisions to move.

"I want to find out how 바카라사이트 family gets involved in 바카라사이트se decisions," she says. "Where 바카라사이트 family fits in, if an elderly relative is living with 바카라사이트 family for instance, I want to find out how it came about. What about o바카라사이트r family members, did 바카라사이트y get involved in 바카라사이트 decision?" Britain has an ageing population. People are living longer and fewer children are being born. "With so much divorce people can have several sets of in-laws who potentially call on 바카라사이트ir time," added Dr Hayes.

Dr Hayes said previous academic research into migration had overlooked personal and family motives focusing instead on occupational change. "We argue that life is rarely that simple," Dr Hayes said. "There is so much more divorce today and this is an important factor in building patterns of migration."

O바카라사이트r factors influencing decisions to move, such as a better standard of living for children or moving to be near relatives, would be taken into account. Dr Hayes said 60 in-depth interviews were being conducted involving families experiencing ei바카라사이트r divorce or caring for an elderly relative.

Preliminary research findings are expected to be published next year.
