“…Ownership is about more than title, as many “owners” discovered in the course of the recent foreclosure crisis. In fact, the surge in foreclosures spurred research testing whether financial strain from mortgages and declining property values attenuates ownership effects (Baert et al 2014, Tumen & Zeydanli 2013). …”

“…For example, a US study found that after controlling for income, housing quality, and health, homeowners were not happier than others and spent less time on enjoyable activities (Bucchianeri 2009). The link might also vary by satisfaction domain: a UK study finds a negative effect of transitions to ownership on job satisfaction, perhaps because of constraints on job mobility (Tumen & Zeydanli 2013). For low-income Scots, owning is less significant than housing quality, neighborhood context, and sense of autonomy (Hiscock et al 2001).…”

Few sociologists treat housing as a key independent variable, despite the emergence of disparate bodies of research analyzing how housing affects outcomes that traditionally interest sociologists. Scholars across the social sciences have proposed and tested mechanisms whereby housing could shape subjective wellbeing, socioeconomic status, demography, and politics. We review the evidence for causal effects across these domains. Next, we make recommendations for research designs to advance this literature. Most studies only test effects of homeownership, and most are focused on the United States and Western Europe. The evidence for causation is often weak, although studies increasingly employ complex techniques for identifying effects. Throughout, we emphasize studies beyond the United States, and we conclude by discussing distinctive insights yielded by comparative research. We advocate for a comparative perspective and more expansive conceptualization of housing status as a means to build theory and evidence regarding the conditions under which housing exerts effects.

“…Our regression models, in addition to accounting for intergenerational mobility in educational attainment and corresponding levels of parental and individuals’ education, control for important covariates which have been identified in the previous research to be associated with binge drinking and smoking (Burrows and Nettleton 1995; Cockerham et al 2006; Hart et al 1998; Hemmingsson et al 1999; Jefferis et al 2004; Johnson et al 2010; Levin 1994; Paavola et al 2004; Pomerleau et al 2004; Tumen and Zeydanli 2014), as shown in Table 4. Respondents’ age is categorized into five groups: 40–50, 51–60, 61–70, 71–80, and those older than 80.…”

Intergenerational Mobility in Relative Educational Attainment and Health-Related Behaviours

Research on intergenerational social mobility and health-related behaviours yields mixed findings. Depending on the direction of mobility and the type of mechanisms involved, we can expect positive or negative association between intergenerational mobility and health-related behaviours. Using data from a retrospective cohort study, conducted in more than 100 towns across Belarus, Hungary and Russia, we fit multilevel mixed-effects Poisson regressions with two measures of health-related behaviours: binge drinking and smoking. The main explanatory variable, intergenerational educational mobility is operationalised in terms of relative intergenerational educational trajectories based on the prevalence of specified qualifications in parental and offspring generations. In each country the 3associations between intergenerational educational mobility, binge drinking and smoking was examined with incidence rate ratios and predicted probabilities, using multiply imputed dataset for missing data and controlling for important confounders of healthrelated behaviours. We find that intergenerational mobility in relative educational attainment has varying association with binge drinking and smoking and the strength and direction of these effects depend on the country of analysis, the mode of mobility, the gender of respondents and the type of health-related behaviour. Along with accumulation and Falling from Grace hypotheses of the consequences of intergenerational mobility, our findings suggest that upward educational mobility in certain instances might be linked to improved health-related behaviours.

“…On the other hand, employment vibrancy retained through the departure of non-permanent inhabitants in turn hinders home-ownership, especially in the more urbanised areas like Riyadh and Eastern. Moreover, life in an urbanised, developed locality is more demanding and makes people ambitious; thus it can take a long time for home-ownership decisions to come to maturity; the decision to settle down may be delayed until retirement (Davis 2012;Leuvensteijn and Koning 2004;Tumen and Zeydanli 2014).…”

Home ownership has implications for a family's empowerment and quality of life, especially post-retirement. Economic conditions, the cost of living, and child-rearing create barriers to accumulating immovable assets, including the home. This study identifies the determinants of home ownership among retireesgeographic, demographic, social and economic variables-and explains the effect using data drawn from five administrative areas in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Madina, Eastern, Jazan, and Jouf) representing planning regions (Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western and Central). A large proportion of retirees (82%) own a home (purchased before or after retirement), with regional differences. Retirees from Jouf and Jazan have higher ownership rates than their counterparts in Riyadh, Madina, or Eastern, with rates affected by geographic, demographic, social, and economic factors. As determinants, geographic and demographic factors have major roles while economic factors play a typical role in decision-making. A mix of higher education, professional employment, longer duration of employment and higher salaries, when combined with locational preferences and family requirements, motivate or enable home ownership. Retiree home-ownership is important to
