Abstract

![CDATA[This paper identifies rates of female home ownership in Australia and assesses whether there has been a significant change over the period 1998 to 2008. The hypothesis is that with increasing female employment notably in the service sector an increase in the rate of female home ownership might be expected over this time period. Home ownership is promoted as a means of ensuring financial security yet women face particular challenges in achieving it. This study establishes the extent to which female home ownership rates and propensity to purchase are impacted by income, household type and location.]]
