Is a family-friendly home still a prerequisite for childbearing
Over the past decade a housing crisis manifested itself in many affluent societies, inhibiting young adults’ access to family-friendly housing. The lack of affordable family-friendly housing could influence fertility, but this depends on how young adults adapt their fertility decisions to the housing crisis, a question that is not sufficiently understood. We outline two contrasting hypotheses on how the housing crisis changed the types of housing…
Rising House Prices, Falling Fertility? How Rising House Prices Widen Fertility Differences between Tenure Groups
House prices rose rapidly in rich societies over the past decade, inhibiting young adults’ access to affordable, family-friendly housing. Over the same period, fertility has declined. Some recent studies have examined the connection between these trends, but the individual-level mechanisms that link house prices to fertility remain underexplored. We address this research gap by using register data on the full population of the Netherlands between…
The Consequences of Divorce and Splitting up for Spatial Mobility in the UK
Union dissolution is well known to have a disruptive effect on the housing situation of those involved, and often leads to downward moves on the 'housing ladder'. Much less is known about the geographies of residential mobility after union dissolution. There are, however, reasons to expect that those who experienced a union dissolution have a different likelihood of moving over longer distances than those who stay in a union, because of different…
Migration, Occupational Mobility, and Regional Escalators in Scotland
This paper seeks to unpick the complex relationship between an individual’s migration behaviour, their place of residence, and their occupational performance in the Scottish labour market between 1991 and 2001. We investigate whether Edinburgh has emerged as an occupational escalator region and whether individuals moving there experience more rapid upward occupational mobility than those living and moving elsewhere. Using country of birth, we als…
Right to buy … time to move? investigating the moving behaviour of right to buy owners in the UK
Part of the political argument in favour of the right to buy (RTB) was that it would stimulate the economy by encouraging the inter-regional mobility of those in public sector housing. This is the first study to examine whether RTB-owners are indeed more mobile than those in social housing. Using longitudinal data from the British household panel survey and panel regression models we show that the probability of a RTB-owner making a long distance…
Partner (dis)agreement on moving desires and the subsequent moving behaviour of couples
Most studies of residential mobility decision‐making focus on the housing and neighbourhood satisfaction and pre‐move thoughts of individuals. This implicitly assumes that individual evaluations represent the wider household unit. However, if partners in a couple do not share evaluations of dwelling or neighbourhood quality or do not agree on whether moving is (un)desirable, ignoring these disagreements will lead to an inaccurate assessment of th…
A Longitudinal Analysis of Moving Desires, Expectations and Actual Moving Behaviour
Residential mobility theory proposes that moves are often preceded by the expression of moving desires and expectations. Much research has investigated how individuals form these premove thoughts, with a largely separate literature examining actual mobility. Although a growing number of studies link premove thoughts to subsequent moving behaviour, these often do not distinguish explicitly between different types and combinations of premove though…
The Impact of Splitting Up and Divorce on Housing Careers in the UK
Using 1991–2004 data from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) this paper analyses the effect of union dissolution on the occurrence of moves, changes of dwelling type, and the probability of moving out of owner-occupation. The main contributions of this paper are that it takes into account the rise in the occurrence of cohabitation, by analysing the dissolution of cohabiting and marital unions separately, and that it studies the effect of r…
Neighbourhood Change… Reason to Leave
Little attention has been paid to date to the role of a changing neighbourhood as a factor influencing the residential choice process. Processes of neighbourhood change are often beyond residents’ sphere of influence and if a changing neighbourhood causes residential stress, the only way to improve one’s neighbourhood is to move to a better one. This study aims to get more insight into the effect of neighbourhood change on residential stress by s…
A longitudinal analysis of family migration and the gender gap in earnings in the united states and great britain
This article uses longitudinal data for the United States and Great Britain to examine the impact of residential mobility and childbirth on the earnings of women, their family earnings, and the related division of earnings by gender. This project is the _ rst to compare explicitly the impact of childbirth and family migration on women’s earnings, and it extends prior cross-sectional and longitudinal studies on isolated countries by providing a di…
Residential Experience and Residential Environment Choice over the Life-course
The study reported in this article answers the question: how does experience with a certain type of residential environment contribute to the explanation of residential environment choice? The issues under investigation are whether residential experience with cities, suburbs and rural areas increases the probability of return migration and whether residential experience increases the probability of moving to other places with the same type of res…
Who Wants to Leave the Neighbourhood? The Effect of Being Different from the Neighbourhood Population on Wishes to Move
Little attention has been paid to date to the role of the neighbourhood as a factor influencing residential mobility and the residential choice process. The question addressed here is to what extent neighbourhood characteristics (percentage of rented dwellings, low-income households, and ethnic minorities in the neighbourhood) influence different categories of residents to wish to leave their neighbourhood. The answer to this question can enhance…
Life-course Experience and Housing Quality
This paper reports the extent to which the effects of such life-course experiences as partnership formation, the transition to parenthood, divorce and unemployment on housing quality persist over the life course. Using retrospective survey data for the Netherlands and ordered logit analysis, the effects on housing quality of life-course experiences, their timing, and their persistence over the life-course were estimated. Housing quality was measu…
Age differentiation in the effect of household situation on first-time homeownership
The Timing of Household Events and Housing Events in the Netherlands
Research on the relationship between household events and housing events so far has largely ignored the role of timing. This study aims to uncover in what way the postponement of marriage and childbirth that took place in the second half of the 20th century in the Netherlands affected the timing of moving into 'long-stay housing' (single-family dwellings and owner occupied dwellings). This is done by analysing time lags between household events a…
