Abstract
The residential mobility of households in the reduction stage in the Netherlands is examined. Such households are defined as those having a female head aged 47 years or older. "In this article it is shown that the propensity to move demonstrated by these households is strongly influenced by tenure of the (previous) dwelling, quality of that dwelling, and the age of the head of the household. Housing choice of moving households is mainly related to tenure of the (previous) dwelling, household composition, and the characteristics of the housing market." excerpt
