Aggregated Needs and the Location Choice of Households in Taipei Authors: Chin-Oh Chang, Shu-Mei Chen and Shiawee X. Yang Start Page:
81 Abstract:
This
paper examines the impact of aggregated needs of household members on
the choice of housing location in Taipei, Taiwan, using a sample of
11,191 households and information
collected from the 1990 Census of Population and Housing.
Our results indicate that the choice of housing location is
significantly affected impacted
by the age, family origin, past housing location, education and
occupation status, and the location of the workplaces of both spouses.
We also find that this decision is more significantly influenced
by the attributes of the male spouse than the female.
However, among the households with a female household head, the
female spouse characteristics are more likely to be significant.
Our results also offer a snapshot of today’s Taiwanese culture
and shows that it is dramatically different from the commonly believed
male-dominated traditional Chinese culture.
