The article begins by citing selected examples of state intervention in the area of housing in the Czech Republic, which dates back to the founding of the First Czechoslovak Republic in 1918, and a brief description is provided of the most important milestones in the evolution of housing policy since 1989. The second part of the article is devoted to empirically testing the effectiveness of selected housing subsidies applied in the Czech Republic at the end of the 1990s. Housing affordability declined after 1989 and required the introduction of new social and housing policy tools. However, the goals of the new housing assistance programmes have often been laid out in very general terms, which, combined with the lack of data on the recipients, has complicated the execution of any kind of effective analysis. For this reason the selection of programmes submitted to the empirical analysis of effectiveness was limited to the following: housing allowance, rent regulation, and the tax deduction of interest from mortgages and housing saving scheme loans. The analyses showed that only the housing allowance met the selected effectiveness criteria.

The aim of the article is an analysis of changes affecting the financial affordability of rental and owner-occupied housing over the course of the economic transformation in the Czech Republic. To evaluate housing affordability the authors used housing expenditures-to-income ratios and data files from the Czech Statistical Office. The objective of this article is also to draw attention to the need to modify standard indicators when measuring housing affordability in countries in transition. In this regard the authors particularly note the huge differences in affordability ratios between households living in the so-called 'privileged' and households living in the 'unprivileged' housing market sectors.

The article focuses on the results of analyses of sociological research on how housing conditions affect the intended labour migration in the Czech Republic. The aim of the article is mainly to show, in reference to studies published in advanced countries, the effect of a housing tenure on the internal labour migration in the Czech environment. For this purpose the authors use a combination of quantitative and qualitative sociological methods (questionnaire surveys, focus groups). The results of the multi-dimensional logit models and the conclusions drawn from focus groups records indicate that housing tenure has a very significant effect on potential internal labour migration, even after controlling for the effect of other factors related to labour migration. This finding should be of substantial significance for the future direction of housing policy in the Czech Republic.
