Abstract
This articel examines the link between the population structure and housing prices. We use a panel of 23 countries from 1976 to 2013 in our empirical analysis. We find statistically significant impacts of the proportion of the economically active population aged 15-64 to the total population on housing-price growth. Our study supports a policy for stable population growth to moderate housing-price growth and economic cylces.
