베이비부머 세대주의 주택소유 특성에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of home ownership pattern for the two groups of baby boomers who were born in 1955∼1963 in Seoul, Korea. Real estate market can be divided into many distinct submarkets in terms of immobility and individuality in real estate. This study focused on the market segmentation based on demographic characteristics. The data used in this paper are the housing and demographic survey data, which come from Ministry of Public Administration and Security. The specific variables in the data are home ownership, birth year, sex, spouse whether present or not, numbers of people in a household, home size, home type. Various descriptive statistics and logistic regression are used for the empirical analysis. The research results show that the probability of home ownership is lower as baby boomers who were born in 1955∼1963 get younger. In contrast, the results suggest that the probability of home ownership is higher in the case where: the householder is men rather than women; people live with their spouse; the number of people in a household are larger; the householder live in Bangbae 4-dong rather than those live in Samsun-dong. By examining the status of home ownership by baby boomers and analyzing the characteristics of home ownership, this paper suggests that the regression results could be used as one of guideline for establishing the housing policy on the aged society.
