Analysis Of The Demand And Accessibility Of Households To Housing In Algeria

Authors : Lasla Yamina . Oukaci Kamal .

Abstract

In this article, we propose to analyze the demand for and access to housing by households in Algeria. We also aim to identify the factors that may influence them, based on data from a survey conducted with a sample of 700 households in the Bejaia province. First, we will review the main empirical studies related to the determinants of housing application. Second, we will attempt to model the determinants of housing demand and property access using a binary logistic regression model. The results of this study show that relatively young household heads, those with lower levels of education, households residing in urban municipalities, and those cohabiting are more likely to apply for housing. The probability of owning a property is higher for households residing in rural municipalities.
