Abstract

Living near kin facilitates intergenerational support, which may be especially important for immigrant families. For 1.5- and second-generation immigrants, this creates a tension between residential integration and family obligations. This tension can grow when forming a union, particularly with a nonimmigrant. Yet little is known about how residential moves for partnered immigrants shape and are shaped by proximity to parents. Using Swedish register data from 1990 to 2017, we examine the settlement patterns and residential choices of (1) endogamous immigrant couples where partners have the same national background, (2) exogamous couples featuring one immigrant and one nonimmigrant partner, and (3) endogamous unions with two nonimmigrant Swedish partners. Descriptive statistics show that endogamous immigrants are most likely to be living near their parents, followed by exogamous immigrants, and then endogamous and exogamous Swedes. However, discrete choice models of residential mobility behaviors, which account for the spatial distribution of housing, reveal that all groups are more likely to locate nearer to parents, with only modest differences between them. Across model specifications, the effect of distance to parents for immigrants in exogamous unions is slightly, but consistently, weaker than for their partners or counterparts in other kinds of unions. These findings suggest weaker attachments between exogamous immigrants and their parents, while also underscoring how group differences in proximity to family reflect the uneven geographic distributions of housing and immigrant families in Sweden.

瑞典1.5代和第二代移民的异族通婚、靠近父母与居住选择
住在近亲附近有助于代际支持,这对移民家庭尤其重要。对于1.5代和第二代移民来说,这造成了居住融合和家庭义务之间的紧张关系。这种紧张关系在组建工会时可能会加剧,尤其是与非移民组成的工会。然而,人们对有伴侣的移民的住所迁移是如何形成的,以及与父母的距离是如何形成的,知之甚少。利用瑞典1990年至2017年的登记数据,我们研究了以下三种群体的定居模式和居住选择:(1)伴侣具有相同国籍背景的内婚移民夫妇;(2)一方为移民,另一方为非移民伴侣的异婚夫妇;(3)与两名非移民瑞典伴侣的内婚结合。描述性统计数据显示,内婚移民最有可能住在父母附近,其次是外婚移民,然后是内婚和外婚的瑞典人。然而,考虑住房空间分布的居住流动行为的离散选择模型显示,所有群体都更有可能离父母更近,他们之间的差异很小。纵观模型规格,在异族婚姻中,与父母距离的影响对移民的影响略弱,但始终如一地弱于他们在其他类型婚姻中的伴侣或对手。这些发现表明,异族通婚的移民与其父母之间的依恋关系较弱,同时也强调了与家庭接近程度的群体差异如何反映了瑞典住房和移民家庭地理分布的不平衡。
