%T Mobility intentions among natives and first-generation immigrants in Australia
%U https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/7/
%X In this article, we address the question whether or not there are differences in mobility intentions between natives and first-generation immigrants in Australia. Furthermore, we look for explanations for these differences in mobility intentions by taking into account, individual characteristics, family composition and contextual factors. We utilize data on Australia from the Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) and undertake four separate ordered logistic regressions which gradually build upon the identified factors. The results we obtain from the analyses suggest that there are significant differences in mobility intentions between natives and first-generation immigrants in Australia. We show that, controlling for compositional effects on an individual, household and contextual level, immigrants are more likely to form positive mobility intentions. The mechanisms that form mobility intentions do not differ between natives and first-generation immigrants. Rather, there seems to be a unique effect of being a first-generation immigrant in Australia.
