Abstract

The focus of this paper is upon the effects of women's economic progress on housing demand. The theoretical segment of the paper hypothesises that women's empowerment brings about an increase in the demand for housing space in less affluent environments, while instead it has the opposite effect in more affluent settings. These hypotheses are tested and validated using Danish data. The complex demand function on which the empirical analyses are based is constructed using expansion methodology. The themes discussed in this paper have scope broader than demand analysis: they centre upon the dialectic of empowerment that translates into reality women's preferences while at the same time altering them.
