"Family mobility decisions reveal much about how the public and private realms of
social life interact and change. This sociological study explores how contemporary
families reconcile individual members' career and education projects within the family
unit over time and space, and unpacks the intersubjective constraints on workforce
mobility. This Australian mixed methods study sampled Defence Force families and middle
class professional families to illustrate how families' educational projects are necessarily
and deeply implicated in issues of workforce mobility and immobility, in complex ways.
Defence families move frequently, often absorbing the stresses of moving through 'viscous'
institutions as private troubles. In contrast, the selective mobility of middle class
professional families and their 'no go zones' contribute to the public issue of poorly
serviced rural communities. Families with different social, material and vocational
resources at their disposal are shown to reflexively weigh the benefits and risks
associated with moving differently. The book also explore how priorities shift as
children move through educational phases. The families' narratives offer empirical
windows on larger social processes, such as the mobility imperative, the gender imbalance
in the family's intersubjective bargains, labour market credentialism, the social
construction of place, and the family's role in the reproduction of class structure"
