Language: English

Housing is an important source of wealth and economic stability. However, the relative importance of housing for families’ economic well-being, stability, and intergenerational processes may differ substantially across nations. This session will feature research that documents the role of housing as source of family wealth, determinant of families’ economic trajectories, or children’s outcomes. Contributions may focus on a single national case or be cross-nationally comparative.
