Abstract:

The housing market, similar as the labor market is regionally and structurally differentiated in every country. Since the human capital itself is not homogeneous, a mutual discontinuity occurs. Consistency between housing (with emphasis on rental housing) and jobs (labor market) in several developed economies has become an important part of state public policy and local governments. The problem of Slovakia in the sphere of labor mobility needs to be taken from several angles. First, in significantly lower proportion of rental housing (including social rental housing) and also the low regional mobility. The article discusses the problems and the causal relationship between the housing market and labor mobility in Slovakia.
