This research has focused on four major comparisons of socio-demographic characteristics of metropolitan turnaround migration among white middle-aged and elderly American men between 1967-1975. Included are outmigrants versus nonmigrants at origin, inmigrants versus nonmigrants at destination, migration streams, and migration direction and distance. The characteristics for which comparisons were conducted were: age, marital status, number of school age children in the household, employment status, education and yearly total net family income. The data set employed was the Older Men cohort of the NLS. Multivariate findings of outmigrants versus nonmigrants at origin indicates that outmigrants from metropolitan origins tended to be older and not employed relative to their nonmigrant counterparts, whereas outmigrants from nonmetropolitan origin tended to have higher education than their nonmigrant counterparts. Comparison of inmigrants versus nonmigrants at destination showed nonmetropolitan migrants tended to be older and have more yearly total net family income than migrants in the opposite stream. Concerning migration distance comparison within streams, metropolitan to nonmetropolitan long distance migrants were younger, less likely to be employed, and to have higher yearly total net family income than metropolitan to nonmetropolitan short distance migrants. Long distance migrants within the nonmetropolitan to metropolitan stream had higher levels of educational attainment than short distance migrants. Regarding migration stream comparison within distance categories, revealed metropolitan to nonmetropolitan migrants tended to be older and had higher yearly total net family income than nonmetroploitan to metropolitan migrants regardless of distance. Long distance metropolitan to nonmetropolitan migrants had lower levels of educationalattainment than migrants in the opposite stream.

Middle-aged and elderly individuals have played a prominent role in the non-metropolitan turnaround. The data for this study are drawn from the Older Men cohort of the NLS, and the analysis is focused on a pooled sample of two- year migration intervals extending from 1967-1975. Nonmetropolitan-bound migrants do not differ substantially from metropolitan nonmigrants, but differences observed are along life-cycle lines. In contrast, metropolitan to nonmetropolitan migrants differ from nonmetropolitan nonmigrants on both socioeconomic status and life-cycle attributes.
