Abstract
This research aims to describe and explain to what extent migration behaviour in general and migration behaviour distinguished according to motive of persons aged 55 years and older can be explained by personal attributes and place characteristics. The attributes and characteristics showed to have different effects in the three models of elderly migration (in general; because of health or the need for care; to live nearer to family, friends or acquaintances). One important outcome of this study is the observation of a clear retirement effect in the models of elderly migration. Migration for health reasons and family reasons seems to occur earlier in the life-coure than was expected. Migration in direction to family might not have to do with the need for care but can be related to the need for social contact with (grand)children.
