Housing ; Private sector ; United Kingdom ; Youngpeople
The authors examine the housing pathways of youngpeople 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 youngpeople’s housing circumstances in the future. The authors describe how the interactions between the meanings, perceptions, and aspirations of youngpeople, and the opportunities and constraints imposed
by the drivers, are having a major impact on youngpeople’s housing pathways, resulting in considerable housing policy challenges, particularly in relation to the private rented sector.
