| Abstract: | This paper presents a model to explain how parental care responsibilities and family structure interact in affecting children's mobility characteristics. The main result is that the young adults' mobility crucially depends on the presence of a sibling. There is an equilibrium with siblings exhibiting higher mobility than only children, and also having better labour market outcomes. Based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, there is found evidence confirming these patterns. |
