Abstract

Precarious employment is and will become more prevalent on the Dutch labor market. A precarious labor contract limits opportunities of Dutch residents as they face uncertainty and insecurity. This research consists of a quantitative study in aiming to find the relationship between precarious labor contracts and the housing market. According to the researched literature, this form of employment brings uncertainty and insecurity to Dutch laborers and must therefore affect the latter in their decision-making. A sample of 134 Dutch survey respondents shows that there is a relation between labor contract and the different housing sectors. However, the type of housing does not seem to correlate with the type of housing of a precarious laborer. In addition, the respondents seem to presume their current labor contract as a restrain when wanting to move into a different house, compared to those in a permanent labor situation.
