| Annotation | Very little information exists about households' longer-term movements between tenures. Some cross-sectional datasets include information on length of stay in any residence, but we have no systematic study of movement over time. This study uses the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS)a longitudinal representative survey of individuals living in Britain, to examine movements by households over a 10-year period, 1994/95 to 2004/05. Changes in tenure are related to key life events: leaving home, marriage, having children, widowhood and retirement. The great majority of owner-occupiers remained in that tenure. This was somewhat less for those experiencing divorce or unemployment. Most public housing tenants remained in that tenure over the ten years, especially older people and the unemployed or those outside the labour market. About a quarter moved into owner occupation, half of these through the right to buy their home. The analysis looks at the associations between moving into work and residential mobility, particularly the slower rate at which social tenants move back into employment. (RH). |
