Classical assimilation theories hold that immigrant groups will slowly integrate economically over time over multiple generations, which implies that the (grand)children of immigrants will improve their housing market position compared to their (grand)parents and transition from rental housing to owner-occupation. This study uses unique data on the children and grandchildren of immigrants and native Dutch (‘third generation’) in 2018 to assess whether and how the descendants of large immigrant groups from the postwar era have attained ownership. The generational perspective is two-fold. First, we are interested in how individuals from various generations compare within and between origin groups (generational comparison). Second, the study also assesses the role of parental wealth and tenure in intergenerational transfers, i.e., ethnic and generational differences in the effects of these parental background variables. Our estimates from logistic regression models show that Surinamese-Dutch and Turkish-Dutch see higher predicted owner-occupation rates over generations, with some Turkish-Dutch groups having higher rates than native-Dutch. The parental background variables partly predict owner-occupation rates and explain group differences, which indicates the importance of generational transfers.

This study focuses on housing inequalities across diverse social groups with respect to two housing indicators: subjective housing discrimination; and objective housing deprivation. By scrutinizing the correspondence in inequalities between the two indicators, we enhance the measurement of housing inequality and at the same time we shed light on the relationship between subjective and objective dimensions of housing— a relationship that has received little empirical examination so far. Existing research suggests that housing discrimination can contribute to housing deprivation through two channels: inadequate information and limited economic resources. Our focus is the post-2008 housing market crash era in Ireland. We use two separate large-scale individual-level surveys, the QNHS (2004, 2010, 2014) for analysing housing discrimination and SILC (2014, 2015) for analysing housing deprivation. Our findings reveal a robust convergence between perceptions of housing discrimination and objective housing deprivation across various social groups. Traditionally vulnerable groups—such as young individuals, those with disabilities, non-natives (excluding EU citizenship holders), single parents, and individuals without children—experience both discrimination and deprivation. Notably, certain groups exhibit persistent disparities in discrimination and disadvantage, even after considering factors like human capital, regional and tenure differences.

PurposeIn this article, we analyze the tenant selection of landlords in the Swiss property rental market, with a particular focus on gender differences. We concentrate on the rental markets in Geneva and Zurich. This topic has gained significance in recent years, as the scarcity of housing supply in these markets leaves room for discriminatory practices.Design/methodology/approachWe collect data through a correspondence testing approach. We focus on two market segments rental apartments and shared flats. Based on this data, we analyze differences in landlord responses between females and males using logistic regression models.FindingsOur analysis reveals evidence for gender differences in the Swiss rental market, however, these gender differences cancel each other out at the aggregated level as we find evidence of discrimination against both men and women, depending on segment and location. Consistent with theories that suggest that women are perceived as less financially strong, they seem to be at a disadvantage for rental apartments. However, they are more popular tenants in shared flats.Originality/valueWhile gender discrimination has been studied extensively in many fields of economics, including labor economics and real estate markets, our study contributes to the real estate literature by covering the market segments of shared flats together with rental apartments, uncovering differences across market segments, and studying a rental housing market with particularly scarce supply.
