Population and housing: A two sided relationship

233 citations recorded by the source corpus.

In this paper I explore the relationship between population and housing. I argue that this relationship is two-sided. On the one hand, the size of a population, and particularly the number of households, determines the demand for housing. On the other hand, the availability of suitable and affordable housing may attract certain categories of migrants. It also influences young people’s opportunities to leave the parental home, marry or cohabit, and have children. Furthermore, home-ownership hampers residential mobility and migration by binding people to a place.

A Home to Plan the First Child? Fertility Intentions and Housing Conditions in Italy (2013, background): “Mulder (2006a) has suggested that the perceived necessity of being a homeowner before forming a family is likely to be linked to prevailing norms in Italian society (Castiglioni and Dalla Zuanna, 1994; Pinnelli, 1995; Dalla Zuanna, 2001).”
Homeownership Regimes and Low Fertility (2010, background): “…difficult access to homeownership, especially in societies with a low share of rented housing, might contribute to delayed family formation and subsequent fertility choices (Castiglioni & Dalla Zuanna, 1994; Krishnan & Krotki, 1993; Mulder, 2006a, 2006b; Mulder & Wagner, 2001; Pinnelli, 1995).”
