The Migration-commuting nexus in rural England. A longitudinal analysis

This research examines the commuting behavior of workers who have recently moved to or within rural areas in England. While internal migration and commuting are often examined separately, the present study sees them as interrelated, hence the term 'migration-commuting nexus.' This study uses the ASHE data in the first longitudinal study of changes in residence and subsequent changes (or lack thereof) of place of work. In particular, this study examines persistence and change of commuting distance status, the time trend of such changes, and their association with recent rural migration and with socioeconomic attributes of English workers.
