Housing Tenure, Job Mobility, and Unemployment in the UK

This chapter gives an evaluation of the influence of homeownership on an individual's employment and occupational mobility, specifically nonprofessional, skilled, and technical workers in the United Kingdom. The chapter begin with an investigation of the implications of both housing tenure and public leasing relative to private renting with respect to the resurgence of public tenants and migration. The chapter then looks at the possible differential effects of residential status across various socio-economic groupings considering the issues of job dynamism and unemployment. Such researchers are anchored upon the notion that homeowners and public lodgers have a lower reserved income in domestic places compared to other locations, and are more likely to engage in local jobs rather than those in distant areas.
