Project Summary
This project explores the role of housing on the efficient function of the labour market for unemployed and under-employed individuals and households. The HILDA dataset is used to examine how housing tenure, through potential impediments to labour mobility may influence job search, wages and job quality following re-employment.
The Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre team acknowledges the Wadjuk Nyungar people as the traditional owners of the land on which the Centre is situated.
