Does Homeownership Harm Labour Market Performances? A Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
While many countries have implemented various incentives to promote homeownership, this paper investigates the literature on the relationship between this residential status and the labour market performances.

Overall, the Oswald’s hypothesis finds little support.
