Migration is often presumed to be linked to major transitions occurring throughout the life course. In postindustrial societies, one such prominent transition is retirement. Since little is known about the factors constraining or facilitating migration behavior in the context of the retirement transition, a model developed around a set of conditioning factors, including personal resources, socioeconomic bonds, environmental setting, and age, is tested on a sample of 2,000 United States males who entered retirement between 1967 and 1983.
