“…There is a large body of literature on the link between residential moves and family events (e.g., Courgeau 1985;Mulder and Wagner 1993;Odland and Shumway 1993;Ermisch and Di Salvo 1996;Clark and Davies Withers 2007;Ermisch and Washbrook 2012;Clark 2013;Ermisch and Steele 2016). Previous studies have shown that family events such as union formation, marriage, or childbirth lead to 'upward' residential moves on the housing ladder; individuals are likely to move to larger, better quality dwellings in order to adjust their housing conditions to the new circumstances (Clark et al 1984Deurloo et al 1994;Davies Withers 1998;Feijten and Mulder 2002;Clark and Huang 2003;Helderman et al 2004;Kulu 2008;Michielin and Mulder 2008;Clark and Davies Withers 2009;Mulder and Lauster 2010;Rabe and Taylor 2010).…”

Short- and long-term effects of divorce and separation on housing tenure in England and Wales

This paper investigates the effects of marital and non-marital separation on individuals' housing tenure in England and Wales. We apply competing risks event history models to data from the British Household Panel Survey and the UK Household Longitudinal Study to analyse the risk of a residential move to different tenure types, for single, married, cohabiting, and separated men and women. Separated individuals are more likely to move and experience a tenure change than those who are single or in a relationship. Among separated people, private renting is the most common outcome of a move; however, women are also likely to move to social renting, whereas men tend to move to homeownership. This pattern persists when we account for time since separation and order of move, indicating a potential longterm effect of separation on housing tenure. This long-term effect is especially pertinent to separated women who cannot afford homeownership.

“…The first IV included is women's education attainment, defined as a binary variable that takes on the value of 1 if the woman achieved a level of education above a bachelor's degree and 0 otherwise. In their study on the relationship between fertility intention and residential mobility, Ermisch and Steele () found that women's educational qualification has no significant effect on residential mobility in the mobility model and included the variable in the fertility intention model as one of the excluded covariates. Women's education is more relevant in long‐distance moves (e.g., job‐related moves) than short‐distance moves (e.g., fertility‐related moves; Bauernschuster, Falck, Heblich, Suedekum, & Lameli, ; Clark, ; Van Ommeren, Rietveld, & Nijkamp, ).…”

“…Two studies have innovated and contributed to the empirical literature. Using a binary fertility expectation measure from the British Household Panel Survey in five nonconsecutive years from 1992 to 2008, Ermisch and Steele () estimated the effect of anticipated changes in family size on residential mobility within a simultaneous equation framework. They found that expecting to have a child in the future increases the likelihood of moving by 0.036.…”

Fertility intention‐induced relocation: The mediating role of housing markets

This study provides an empirical investigation on the impact of fertility intentions on residential relocation behaviours of partnered women during periods of housing price inflation in Australia. The finding suggests that there is a significant impact of fertility intentions on residential mobility. Couples with strong fertility intentions tend to move from one owner‐occupied dwelling to another with more capacity in more affordable local government areas. However, there is substantial heterogeneity around housing market conditions. The translation of fertility intention into relocation was not observed in housing markets with high affordability pressures. This study extends previous research on fertility intention and relocation behaviour by considering how housing market conditions can interfere the translation of fertility intentions into residential moves and the realisation of fertility intentions in births.

Examining the life course sequence of intending to move and moving

There is now a substantial body of research which examines the process of making decisions about moving. The questions of interest in that work and in this study using US data are, first, how do life course changes get translated into intentions to move, and second, to what extent are intentions realized or unrealized. This study extends previous work by considering a longer interval in the planning process, and by examining how life cycle changes create intentions, which in turn are translated, or not, into actual moves. We study the antecedents of the expressed intention to move and the outcomes which follow the expressed intention to move. We test the process of forming intentions and moving in the context of life course events and changes. We find that the subset of variables which create the intention to move vary subtly from the variables which create moves, though the triggering effects of family composition change are critical dimensions of both creating intentions and fulfilling those intentions by moving.
