Does help for homeownership bring families together?
Channel: HOUWEL University of Amsterdam
Date: 2016-09-06

Homeownership is both highly desirable and inaccessible for young adults across Europe and much of the world. The financial crisis exposed fault lines in access to homeownership between and within generations previously masked by easy access to mortgages and a booming market. Parental or family support are now often a prerequisite for accessing homeownership. 

The HOUWEL study of family and property wealth revealed that conflicts and solidarity within families manifest within daily encounters and negotiations of autonomy and dependence, duties and responsibilities.
