Video now available: 'Union dissolution, residential mobility and housing in Britain' with Julia Mikolai

CPC recently welcomed Julia Mikolai who gave a seminar on the connections between partner relationships, residential relocations and housing.

Julia is a Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews. She is currently working on the PartnerLife project, a comparative project which explores the interrelationships between partner relationships, residential relocations, and housing in the life course in the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands. Julia holds a PhD in social statistics and demography from the University of Southampton. Her PhD research investigated the intersection of partnership experiences and the transition to motherhood in 16 European countries and the United States using multi-state event history models. Julia's background is in sociology and demography; she studied at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, at Utrecht University, and at the European Doctoral School of Demography.

Partner relationships, residential relocations and housing are crucial to people's well-being and are known to be connected with each other. However, many aspects of this connection have remained under-researched. In this presentation, Julia aims to fill some of these knowledge gaps by showcasing findings from the PartnerLife project. For example, she shows that separation leads to elevated mobility levels and that the risk of a move remains high even several years after separation in England and Wales. Additionally, she examines housing tenure trajectories of separated men and women in Britain applying sequence analysis to data from the British Household Panel Survey.

A recording of the seminar is available on the CPC YouTube channel:
