Abstract:
This article focuses on generational differences in spatial mobility. Assuming that the ability to cope with the social transformations related to growing mobility varies significantly across generations, we use mobile positioning data collected in Estonia during 2014 providing four main indicators, namely, the number of locations visited and the distances between visited locations, within Estonia and abroad. The results indicate that spatial mobility declines linearly with age; however, a high degree of heterogeneity exists within age groups. Whereas the spatial mobility of the most active members of the younger generation takes place mostly within Estonia, among the most active older generation focus their activity beyond its borders. The study reveals \"delayed mobility\" patterns among the most active groups of the older generation and a new \"immobility culture\" among the younger generation in terms of cross-border activities in a transition society.
摘要:
本文主要研究空间流动性的代际差异。假设应对与不断增长的流动性相关的社会变革的能力在不同世代之间存在显著差异,我们使用2014年在爱沙尼亚收集的移动定位数据提供四个主要指标,即,访问的位置数量和访问的位置之间的距离,在爱沙尼亚和国外。结果表明,空间流动性随年龄线性下降;然而,年龄组内存在高度异质性。尽管年轻一代中最活跃的成员的空间流动性主要发生在爱沙尼亚境内,在最活跃的老一辈中,他们的活动集中在境外。该研究揭示了在转型社会中,最活跃的老一代群体中的“延迟流动”模式和年轻一代中的新的“不流动文化”。
