This article presents results from a longitudinal study using data from the Norwegian population register, combined with data from the 1970 and 1980 censuses. For two generations, those born in 1948 and 1958, successive migrations are considered and the effects of various sociodemographic characteristics on migratory behaviour are explored. Attention focuses on individuals who had moved (changed municipal district) at the age of 22 (that is, in a census year) and who therefore form a specific sub-population whose sociodemographic structure differs from that of the whole generation. Event-history analysis is used to examine the duration of stay at the place reached at age 22, and the effects of individual characteristics on this duration. Since a distinction is made between intra- and inter-regional migration, it has been possible to show that these effects vary significantly depending on whether we are dealing with short- or long-distance migration. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
