Abstract: This study uses French data of The European Community Household Panel (1994-2001) to evaluate the influence of homeownership on individual's employment stability and on the types of associated exits if the job ends. Following a recent literature concerned with the effects of residential status on individual labour market outcomes, we examine whether homeowners are characterized by a higher risk of unemployment than tenants. At the same time, we also wonder about the effects of the residential status on the level of employee mobility, in the sense of job to job transitions. After a review of the literature, a general presentation of the data allows a ï¬ rst insight into the links between residential status, labour mobility and residential mobility. An econometric modeling of employment durations is then proposed and applied to a sample of job spells from the Panel Européen des Ménages . Until now these questions have been ignored in French studies. A positive impact of owner's status on employment duration is found, in particular when housing related financial constraints weigh on individuals, or when a change of employment implies a residential move. On the other hand, owner's status exercises a significant impact on the reduction of the unemployment risk, regardless of the type of employment contract.
