First PhD paper (with Nico Stawarz, Heiko Rüger and Clara H. Mulder) now out #OA in #PSP: We explore the relationship between moving distance and income returns, finding that overall, work-related movers gain more when moving across longer distances💸📈 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The Income Returns of Moving for Work: Does Distance Matter?
The positive link between work-related moves and income is well-established, but little robust evidence exists on whether the distance moved matters in this relationship. There are, however, theoreti....

Causes and Consequences of Spatial Mobility Over the Life CourseTuesday, June 18 | 10:00–13:00 | CED (Sala Àngels Torrents) & Zoom Organizers: Claudia Brunori, Juste Lekstyte, and Alon Pertzikovitz We are delighted to invite you to the upcoming workshop Causes and Consequences of Spatial Mobility Over the Life Course, organized by the LIFELONGMOVE team. Research increasingly shows that to fully understand patterns of spatial mobility, we need a life course perspective—one that draws on longitudinal data and methods.

The idea has matured - and so have I!🤓 Just presented the current (now submitted) paper on distance gradients in income gains from internal migration building on my MT at the DGD (German Demographic Society) conference 2025😃

• CALL FOR PAPERS –  2026 CPoS Special Issue “Migration Trajectories Across the Life Course”
Comparative Population Studies welcomes submissions to the 2026 special issue Migration Trajectories Across the Life Course, guest edited by Sergi Vidal (Autonomous University of Barcelona), Aude Bernard (University of Queensland), and Riccardo Valente (Autonomous University of Barcelona). The proposed special issue aims to leverage a trajectory-based approach that fully accounts for the multi-dimensional nature of migration across time and space, providing deeper insights into diverse migration trajectory patterns and their long-term individual and societal implications.

Zunehmend ungleiche Mietkostenbelastung www.bib.bund.de/Publikation/... • Mietkostenbelastung insbesondere für Personen mit Niedrigeinkommen angestiegen • Ungleichheit der Mietkostenbelastung bei Zugewanderten stärker angestiegen • Realeinkommensverluste bei Personen mit Niedrigeinkommen
Die Abbildung zeigt die Entwicklung der Mietkostenbelastung zwischen 1990 und 2020 am obersten und untersten Quintil der Einkommensverteilung. Am oberen Ende der Verteilung blieb die Mietkostenbelastung relativ stabil, am unteren Ende der Verteilung stieg die Belastung an. Bei Zugewanderten mit niedrigen Einkommen war die Steigerung von niedrigem Niveau kommend besonders ausgeprägt.

When winter feels the longest, we fortunately organize our own PhD-peer workshop at BiB! The ‘wall of compliments’ – where only pep talk is allowed – was a good balance to useful and critical feedback to my paper 🙏 Thanks @eliashofmann.bsky.social and everyone else! #phdlife #populationgeography

Here's a starter pack for happiness/SWB researchers. It's a pretty small list at this point; I've mainly used profile searches, with limited results. So, happy to add people by request. go.bsky.app/7o42Hjp

Do motives of internal migration vary with distance? In a short report based on German panel data we find that this is the case - but that the picture is more complex than you would think 🤔 (report in German, happy to answer questions🤓) www.bib.bund.de/Publikation/...
