Abstract

This study analyzes the factors affecting residence duration by household type, considering children and income levels, using residential movement panel data from 2008 to 2017 in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, and Coxs proportional hazard model. The main findings are as follows. First, the residential duration of low-income households with children is shorter than that of high-income households without children. Second, low-income households with children have shorter stays when their incomes decrease, and their household members increase. Third, low-income households without children have shorter stays if they have a lower income and live in larger-dwelling units, in apartments or in Seoul. Therefore, housing stabilization policies should be enforced differently depending on household characteristics. Additionally, these findings suggest that housing policies should be strengthened for households with low-income levels and many children. Housing welfare policies focusing on income, housing size, housing type, and residential area could be enhanced after increasing the housing stability of low-income households without children. These findings show that the factors affecting residential duration differ according to household characteristics. The results of this study could serve to justify various housing welfare policies from an evidence-based approach.
