Housing Decisions of American Youth Journal of Urban Economics 35,1 (January 1994): 28-45.

Keyword(s): Cohabitation; Demography; Earnings; Family Background and Culture; Family Formation; Home Ownership; Household Composition; Household Structure; Labor Supply The relationship of household tenure decision with household formation and labor supply choices is examined. Primary data used was the 1987 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth which was filled out by respondents aged 22 to 29 years old. Results show that young adults' decisions whether to live alone (single/married), or to cohabit with parents or other adults is influenced by potential earnings and housing rental costs. Household tenure choice, on the other hand, depends on wealth, the relative homeowning cost and demographic variables such as gender, presence of children and race. Finally, housing demand is swayed by potential wage, wealth and owner cost, but not by demographic and family background factors. |
