Social networks and spatial mobility biographies

The aim of the research is to investigate the relationship between social networks and spatial mobility behaviour in a life-course approach.
Most other studies have focused on occupational mobility and have neglected more regular forms of mobility that are intended to maintain or develop important relationships, such as visiting the elderly or long-distance commuting. These forms of mobility usually allow for a balance in family life.
