abstract: The present research investigates the impact of family and local ties on the migration behaviour of secondary education graduates in Great Britain. Employing data from the British Household Panel Survey and including graduates from secondary education between 1991 and 2008, it could be shown that common hypotheses on family and local ties only partly fit the special situation of young adults in the transition to independence. Using discrete-time event-history analysis and logistic as well as multinomial regression analyses, it was detected that having already founded an own family upon graduation decreases mobility, whereas living in the parental home with both parents present enables migration. The magnitude of these effects was especially high for prospective university students. Furthermore, it could be shown that friendship ties keep graduates in the place of origin, whereas local engagement produces social capital, which has differing effects depending on the type of settlement.
