Urban singles and shared housing
Introduction Across high-income economies, more urbanites live longer on their own, in non-family households, than ever before. Solo dwellers amount to 39%, 28%, 24% and 34% of all households in Europe (Eurostat, 2020), the US (US Census, 2020), Australia (Australian Census, 2016) and Japan (Japanese Census, 2015) respectively.
The false promise of homeownership: Homeowner societies in an era of declining access and rising inequality
Introduction In many ways, the second half of the 20th century reflected a ‘golden age’ of increasing homeownership rates. While differing in precise timing and conditions across advanced economies, this period was largely characterised by strong economic and labour conditions supporting a broader middle class, alongside a solid socio-political backing for homeownership (Conley and Gifford, 2006; Forrest and Hirayama, 2009; Kurz and Blossfeld, 2004).
“In a globalised era, a welfare system that relies on home ownership is critically vulnerable”
The inequalities and inequities that housing markets generate have become a cross-national issue in the last decade or so. In Australia, the UK and the US, discussions of “Generation Rent” have taken centre stage. In the generational debate, older, asset-wealthy owner-occupiers advantaged by previously more stable lending conditions and historic house price trends have been pitted against younger cohorts.
