The project will reveal, quantify and analyze actual regional disparities (among regions NUTS 3) in availability and affordability of housing in the Czech Republic. The time series describing the development of such disparities will be provided. The project will also analyse the influence of changes in housing conditions, in general, and the changes in regional disparities in housing conditions (availability and affordability of housing), in particular, on their potential selected socio-economic consequences. In this respect the project will use the original new methodology for measurement of availability and affordability of housing that reflects the particular situation in transitional countries.
The goal of the project is also to identify such factors that, on one side, influence the level of availability and affordability of housing and their regional disparities, and, on the second side, may be effectively shaped by public interventions. The goal is to propose such effective and efficient measures (tools) that would:
- increase availability and affordability of housing;
- decrease the regional disparities in availability and affordability of housing;
- decrease negative socio-economic consequences of low availability and affordability of housing and high regional disparities in availability and affordability of housing - especially consequences on demographic behaviour patterns of young generation, flexibility of labour and spatial social segregation of households endangered by unaffordability of housing;
- increase availability of particular types of housing especially in regions where there is high discrepance between housing supply and housing need (housing demand) of particular types of housing;
- increase availability of housing through particular effective and efficient tools on housing refurbishment;
- increase availability of housing through the introduction of new forms of rental housing.

Policy paper deals with an analysis of housing affordability and availability for social excluded in the Czech Republic based on the case studies and the experiences of non-profit organisations. Good practices and possible strategies to combat housing exclusion using in foreign countries are discussed in the paper. The objective of the paper is to propose tools directed to increase availability and affordability of housing for people at risk of social exclusion in the Czech republic.
The policy paper contains the proposal for structural changes of several housing policy measures in the Czech Republic. The goal of the reform is to increase policy effectiveness, efficiency, tenure neutrality and anticyclicity. The second section of paper describes the results of large-scale simulations of the reform and its impact on public expenditures and income distribution.
The policy paper deals with impacts of economic crisis and identifies households endangered by financial inaffordability, mainly due to unemployment reasons. After reviewing various international policies dealing with this problem, the authors propose two policies – the programme for the support of work related migration and a an interest-free loan for homeowners facing the risk of losing their homes.
The policy paper offers theoretical framework of the relations between housing and population policy and reviews current housing policies accross european countries. The paper focuses predominanty on the rental housing sector and on young families searching for housing. The authors summarize both state-level and municipality-level policies aimed at this group. Two policies are proposed: novelization of current housing benefit and local houisng guarantee.
The article examines the relationship between housing affordability and fertility in the Czech Republic after 1989. An analysis of national data suggests that improving housing affordability might be a factor behind the rise of fertility that has been observed since the beginning of the 2000s. The regional variation in fertility is generally lower than the regional variation of indicators of both housing affordability and the economic situation.
Abstract
The chapter deals with an analysis of housing unaffordability in the Czech Republic from 2000 to 2009. The objective is (1) to map the types of households potentially at risk of being unable to afford housing based on analysis of incomes and housing prices (2) to map the types of households with subjective feeling of being unable to afford housing (3) to map the types of households at risk of housing unaffordadility following economic crisis (4) to map of social excluded groups.
This article examines if regional differences in housing affordability have an impact on labour mobility. This relationship is important for understanding the sources of structural unemployment and impediments to economic growth. A time series regression analysis reveals that the impact of housing affordability on observed inter-regional migration patterns is relatively weak; and this effect is concentrated among the highly educated seeking employment in the capital, Prague.
The article deals with an analysis of regional differences in rental housing affordability following rent deregulation in the Czech Republic. The objective is to identify the types of households potentially at risk of being unable to afford housing, to map the development of potential housing (un)affordability since 2000, and to trace the development of regional differences in the percentage of at-risk households in the Czech Republic.
