Do life course events stimulate migration during the transition to adulthood? We identify nine specific life events in the family, education, and employment domains and test whether they lead to migration in the short term, using fixed-effects models that remove the influence of all stable individual-level characteristics and controlling for age. Marital and school completion events have substantively large effects on migration compared with individual work transitions, although there are more of the latter over the young adult years. Furthermore, young adults who are white and from higher class backgrounds are more likely to migrate in response to life events, suggesting that migration may be a mechanism for the reproduction of status attainment. Overall, the results demonstrate a close relationship between life course events and migration and suggest a potential role for migration in explaining the effect of life course events on well-being and behavior.

2.	Educational Expansion, Field of Study, and Gender Inequalities in Skill Usage Across Four Cohort Studies Presented: Atlanta GA, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2022 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97, Young Men, Young Women Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): College Degree; College Major/Field of Study/Courses; Gender Differences; Skills Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Does educational expansion have gendered and field-specific effects on the value of bachelor's degrees? Previous research suggests that if educational expansion weakens the value of a bachelor's degree, then less prestigious majors would be disadvantaged versus more prestigious majors, and women would be disadvantaged compared to men. We analyze data from four different studies conducted by the National Longitudinal Surveys spanning cohorts born as early as 1943 and as late as 1984. Multilevel regression models and predicted analytic skill scores provide some evidence for the hypothesized argument, but the value of men's degrees changed in ways that are inconsistent with the prior theory. Furthermore, not a single field of study responded the same way to educational expansion across both men and women. The findings suggest that the effects of educational expansion on analytic skill usage is fundamentally gendered, and that this is only visible when disaggregating fields of study.
