Housing ; Private sector ; United Kingdom ; Young people
The authors examine the housing pathways of young people in the UK in the years 1999 to 2008, and consider the changing nature of these pathways in the run up to 2020. They employ a highly innovative methodology, which begins with the identification
and description of key drivers likely to affect young people’s housing circumstances in the future. The authors describe how the interactions between the meanings, perceptions, and aspirations of young people, and the opportunities and constraints imposed
by the drivers, are having a major impact on young people’s housing pathways, resulting in considerable housing policy challenges, particularly in relation to the private rented sector.

Ethnic group ; Great Britain ; Internal migration ; Life cycle ; Residential mobility ; United Kingdom ; Young adults

adults but reduces mobility for young adults from Black and South Asian ethnic groups.

are. Political party identification has an important influence upon environmental concerns even among these 16–17-year olds, with young conservative party identifiers far less likely than Greens or Labor identifiers to believe that global warming will pose
