Lastly, although women have lower overall income gains than men when moving for work, the additional effects of moving longer distances on incomes are similar👥

Happy to discuss our paper in more detail!🤓

We explore potential structural reasons behind this 'step', finding that neither moves between labour market regions and into urban areas (both associated with high financial rewards) explains this pattern🏙️ This may indicate that there are inherent differences between short- vs long-distance moves🚶

Furthermore, we find that the 'distance premium' does not increase linearly - instead, the strongest differences in income gains are between movers over more or less than 200 km🤔.

This 'step' is robust to the use of different wage measures and housing cost adjustment💵.

Great list! Would also love to be added!
