虽然以前的研究表明，家庭动态和父母的社会经济地位影响年轻人首次进入房屋所有权的时间，但对于家庭因素的作用如何在不同住房制度的国家之间变化知之甚少。在这篇文章中，我们使用来自英国和德国的面板调查数据来比较家庭生活历程、职业和父母的社会经济背景如何影响年轻人在这两个不同的国家背景下最初进入住房所有权。研究结果显示，在英国，首次拥有住房的过渡与合伙关系的形成紧密同步。相比之下，在德国，首次拥有住房通常发生在孩子出生前后或之后。在这两种情况下，父母自住加速了进入房屋所有权，而其他父母特征的影响相对较小。此外，研究结果强调了个人社会经济因素是如何进入业主职业的关键决定因素。这在英国尤其如此，因为首次拥有住房的过渡存在很强的社会经济梯度。
Although previous research shows that family dynamics and parental socioeconomic status influence the timing of young adults' first entry into homeownership, much less is known about how the role of family factors may vary across countries with different housing systems. In this article, we use panel survey data from Britain and Germany to compare how family life course careers and parental socioeconomic background influence young adults' initial entry into homeownership in these two divergent national contexts. The results show that in Britain, first-time homeownership transitions are tightly synchronized with partnership formation. By contrast, in Germany first moves into homeownership typically occur later around or after the arrival of children. Parental owner-occupation accelerates entry into homeownership in both contexts, while the effects of other parental characteristics are relatively muted. Furthermore, the results highlight how individual socioeconomic factors are critical determinants of entering owner-occupation. This is particularly true in Britain where there is a strong socioeconomic gradient in first-time homeownership transitions.
