The government has thus implemented various promotional program and policy such as childbirth subsidy programs and residential policies, specifically emphasising on Appropriate Housing, Modern Housing, Youth Residence and Public Housing residential programs. This study examines the relationship between housing tenure and the number of children, and also analyses the factors which may affect housing tenure, the number of children, and housing characteristics. In this study, we apply to the data of Taiwan ‘Panel Study of Family Dynamics’ (PSFD) in the eleventh year plan (RI2009). A total of 1785 samples, aged from 26 to 32 were included. The samples are divided into four groups which were married men, married women, unmarried men and unmarried women. In addition, because there are various types of variable i.e. nominal, interval, and categorical different multivariate analysis methods are used in the research, like discriminant analysis, canonical correlation analysis, analysis of variance and regression analysis. The results of the study are summarized as follows: First, this research discovers that married men attach greater importance to economic attributes variables, while married women put greater emphasis on stability. In addition, housing characteristics like the number of rooms, bathrooms, and living rooms have a crowding-out effect on the married sample, while the number of living room does not have a significant effect on the unmarried sample.
