Abstract: An important theorem of Ling states that if $G$ is any factorizable non-fixing group of homeomorphisms of a paracompact space then its commutator subgroup $[G,G]$ is perfect. This paper is devoted to further studies on the algebraic structure (e.g. uniform perfectness, uniform simplicity) of $[G,G]$ and $[ildeG,ildeG]$, where $ildeG$ is the universal covering group of $G$. In particular, we prove that if $G$ is bounded factorizable non-fixing group of homeomorphisms then $[G,G]$ is uniformly perfect (Corollary 3.4). The case of open manifolds is also investigated. Examples of homeomorphism groups illustrating the results are given.
