The equation of the probability of households to own their own homes
based on these independent variables, can be written as follows:
Zi = −1,0830 + 0,7616 − 0,2640 + 0,8097 + 0,6215
−0,3472 + 0,3394 ℎ −
0,2522 ℎ (2)
From Equation 2 above, it can be seen that the expenditure variable, age
and marital status of the head of the household, and the number of household
members have a positive coefficient. Meanwhile, the variable of the sex of the
head of the household, the employment status of the head of the household,
and the presence of the child have a negative coefficient.
The sex variable of the head of the household has a negative influence on
housing ownership status in DKI Jakarta. The marginal effect is -0.0869, which
indicates the opportunity for households with male head of households to be
8.69 percent lower than owning a household headed by a female head. This is
in line with Table 1, which states that the level of home ownership in
households with female household head is higher than that of male.
Kolomatsky (2017) explains that women who are not married are more likely
to have a house than men with the same status. Mach (2018) also found similar
results. Women have more than 50 percent of all types of property compared
to men. Weintraub (2017) states that there are several reasons related to this,
including women having a strong desire to own their own homes, women
needing more space or wanting a smaller house, and the location of a house
closer to work, school or family.
The employment status of the head of the household significantly
influences the ownership status of the house. However, marginal effects and
coefficients of this variable indicate a negative direction. Based on the
marginal effect, formal workers have an opportunity of 11.43 percent lower
than owning a house compared to households with a informal worker or
unemployment. The possibility of this is due to the fact that even though it
has own status, the inhabited house is a family heritage house. However,
informal workers are a very potential resource in the economy of DKI Jakarta.
The presence of children also significantly affects home ownership status.
Marginal effect generated -0.0830. Households with the presence of children
in it have a 8.30 percent lower chance of owning a home than household
without children. Previous research also found that the presence of children
significantly affected home ownership, but in a positive direction, for example
in the Drew study (2014). The opposite happens in the DKI Jakarta area. The
