Mobilities and Family Lives in Europe – Modern Mobile Living and its Relation to Quality of Life (JobMob)</em> is an international comparative research project which focuses on the prevalence, causes and consequences of job-related spatial mobility in Europe.</p> <p>The first wave of the survey was conducted in 2007 in six countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, Spain and Switzerland. 7,220 randomly selected people were interviewed. Funded by the European Commission, the study was implemented by researchers from the participating countries as part of a collaborative network. The project was coordinated by <abbr title="Professor">Prof.</abbr> <span lang="de" xml:lang="de">Norbert Schneider</span>, then professor at the <span lang="de" xml:lang="de">Johannes Gutenberg</span> University of <span lang="de" xml:lang="de">Mainz</span>, now director of the <abbr title="Federal Institute for Population Research">BiB</abbr>.</p> <p>The objective of the first wave of the survey was to describe the prevalence of job-related spatial mobility (<abbr>e.g.</abbr> daily long-distance commuting, weekly commuting and relocating) on the basis of representative data. Further to this, the aim is to gain detailed information on the causes of job-related spatial mobility and its implications for personal well-being, family life and social participation.</p> <p>A second wave (n=1,735) was conducted in Germany in 2010 as well as in France, Spain and Switzerland in 2011 and 2012. Aside from re-interviewing the participants from the first wave, an additional survey (oversampling) was conducted in Germany and France (n=499) on highly mobile persons who were interviewed in the first wave. The second wave features a collection of extensive retrospective data about spatial mobility, employment, partnership and family. Furthermore, it includes new contents with topics such as social integration, volunteerism and social mobility.</p> <div class="sectionRelated"></div> <div class="teaser type-1 no-image row"> <div class="columns"> <h2 ><a href="EN/Research/Surveys/JobMob/Project/Project.html"><span class="text1">Project</span></a></h2> <p>Project description, members and events <span class="more"><a href="EN/Research/Surveys/JobMob/Project/Project.html">more<span class="aural">: Project …</span></a></span> </p> </div> </div> <div class="teaser type-1 no-image row"> <div class="columns"> <h2 ><a href="EN/Research/Surveys/JobMob/Data/Data.html">Data</a></h2> <p>Datasets and Documentation <span class="more"><a href="EN/Research/Surveys/JobMob/Data/Data.html">more<span class="aural">: Data …</span></a></span> </p> </div> </div> <div class="teaser type-1 no-image row"> <div class="columns"> <h2 ><a href="EN/Research/Surveys/JobMob/Publications/Publications.html">Publications </a></h2> <p>Publications related to the project <span class="more"><a href="EN/Research/Surveys/JobMob/Publications/Publications.html">more<span class="aural">: Publications …</span></a></span> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="navBreadcrumbs"> <p class="aural">You are here:</p> <ol><li class="first"><a href="EN/Home.html" title="Homepage">Homepage</a></li><li><a href="EN/Research/Research.html">Research</a></li><li><a href="EN/Research/Surveys/Surveys.html">Data and Surveys</a></li><li><strong>Job Mobilities and Family Lives</strong></li></ol> </div> <div id="footer"> <div id="navFunctionsWrapper" class="row"> <div class="small-7 columns"> <h2>this page:</h2> <ul id="navFunctions"> <li id="navFunctionsRecommend"> <a href="mailto:?subject=Interesting page on bib.bund.de&body=This page on bib.bund.de could be interesting for you: https://www.bib.bund.de/EN/Research/Surveys/JobMob/Job-Mobilities-and-Family-Lives.html" title="Recommend this page by e-mail">recommend page</a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="small-5 columns"> <p class="navToTop"> <a href="EN/Research/Surveys/JobMob/Job-Mobilities-and-Family-Lives.html#Start">to the top</a> </p> </div> </div> <div id="siteInfo" class="row"> <h2 class="aural">Subnavigation of all website sections</h2> <div class="column small-12"> <ul class="footer-navigation"> <li><a href="EN/Institute/Institute.html">The BiB</a></li> <li><a href="EN/Research/Research.html">Research</a></li> <li><a href="EN/Publications/Publications.html">Publications</a></li> <li><a href="EN/Service/Service.html">Service</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="copyright row"> <div class="small-12 columns"> <p> © Federal Institute for Population Research – 2024  <a href="EN/Service/Imprint/Imprint.html">Legal Notice</a><a href="EN/Service/Privacy/Privacy.html">Privacy Policy</a><a href="EN/Service/Sitemap/Sitemap.html">Sitemap</a> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div id="cookiebanner" class="cookiebanner top" data-position="top" data-animation="true"> <div class="cookiebannerbox"> <div> <div class="text"> <h2>Use of cookies</h2><p>Cookies help us to provide our services.
