Abstract: Although movement to new and unfamiliar places is prominent in the conceptualization of migration, few studies have focused resolutely on this form of migration, referred to as onward migration. A larger body of research is focused on return migration, or the movement back to familiar places. This study utilizes the NLSY79 to build on the earlier panel based investigation of repeat migration by DaVanzo and Morrison, whose data did not allow for analysis of possible racial/ethnic differences in forms of repeat migration. Multivariable logistic regression is utilized to compare rates of onward migrations for Hispanics, non-Hispanic blacks and non-Hispanic whites while controlling other socioeconomic and demographic variables. The most important finding of this study is significantly lower rates of onward migration for blacks and Hispanics than for whites.
