Abstract: The move into council housing can affect family welfare not only in terms of their housing conditions but in other spheres as well. In this paper we examined the influence of changed journey to work costs arising out of a move into council housing on the propensity to quit current employment. Using separate models for men and women regression analysis is employed to estimate the effects of changed journey to work times on a sample of men and women who moved into Glasgow council housing. A control group is utilised and the effects of various personal characteristics and other factors are also taken into account. Increased travel time resulted in an increased quit rate for the men in the sample whereas for the women no relationship between quits and increased journey to work time was observed.
