Abstract

This book provides an overview of the effects of home ownership, a housing sector that has grown rapidly in recent years in many countries, not least because this is normally encouraged by governments. The first part of the subtitle, 'Getting in', refers to processes in the development of the homeownership stock including problems of access, which in turn implies issues of affordability, the viability of financial institutions and subsidies. 'Getting from' indicates that this form of housing tenure may provide households with advantages such as wealth accumulation and independence that may not

Abstract

Refugees are forced to gamble with their lives to flee conflicts, and if they arrive at their intended destination unscathed, they may face the turbulent prospect of asylum defined by a meagre existence, social exclusion, poverty, and even homelessness.Operating at different scales and imagined places, homelessness and asylum seeking are issues of fundamental social justice typically viewed as a problem of cities and crises of national and international concern respectively. However, over the past two decades in particular, the increasing and volatile numbers of asylum seekers arriving in the

Abstract

Tijdens het Grote Woononderzoek 2013 werden in Vlaanderen 10.000 gezinnen uitgebreid geïnterviewd over o.a. hun uitgaven voor wonen, de wijze van financiering, woonwensen en woongeschiedenis. Bovendien werden 5.000 woningen ook grondig gescreend volgens een methodiek gebaseerd op de kwaliteitsnormen van de Vlaamse overheid. Dit boek bundelt de voornaamste resultaten van het Grote Woononderzoek en plaatst deze binnen de ruimere context en historiek van de woningmarkt.Tot de meest opvallende resultaten hoort de vaststelling dat naar schatting 1 miljoen Vlaamse woningen tekortkomingen vertoont waardoor ze bij een conformiteitsonderzoek wellicht niet zouden voldoen aan de Vlaamse normen. Nieuw is ook dat na een decennialange toename van het aandeel eigenaars onder de Vlaamse bevolking dit aandeel nu afneemt. Verder bevestigen de resultaten de gekende en toenemende betaalbaarheidsproblemen op de private huurmarkt. Dit boek is onmisbare lectuur voor wie zich een objectief beeld wenst te vormen van de Vlaamse woningmarkt anno 2013. Voor de overheid bieden de resultaten van het onderzoek een hulp om het beleid beter te richten op de voornaamste problemen. (Bron: covertekst)

Abstract

Although a strong indicator of social status, home ownership has rarely emerged as a topic in social inequality research. This book compares twelve countries—the United States, Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Israel—to determine the interdependence of social inequality and homeownership attainment over the life course. Examining countries that are similar with respect to socioeconomic development, but different in regard to their housing policies, the authors show that housing policies matter and are largely consistent with a country’s general approach in the provision of welfare. This book presents a valuable contribution to the social stratification literature, which traditionally has neglected the dimension of home ownership. It goes beyond most housing studies by adopting a life-course framework and longitudinal approach. The empirical findings provide evidence that in all countries under study—even those of the social democratic welfare regime type—labor market position matters in one’s chances to become a homeowner.

Abstract

Dit boek schetst de situatie op de Vlaamse woningmarkt anno 2018. Het is gebaseerd op onderzoek binnen het Steunpunt Wonen. De voornaamste indicatoren die relevant zijn voor het woonbeleid en specifieke woonthema’s komen aan bod. Bijzondere aandacht gaat naar de verschillen naargelang de achtergrondkenmerken van huishoudens en woningen.De resultaten laten zien dat de kwaliteit van de woningen in Vlaanderen verbetert en dat het risico op betaalbaarheidsproblemen stagneert, voor zowel huurders als eigenaars. Ze bevestigen ook dat blijvende aandacht nodig is voor de kwetsbare huishoudens op de woningmarkt.De gegevens zijn afkomstig uit de Woonsurvey 2018, die uitgevoerd werd binnen het Steunpunt Wonen. Dit is de derde grootschalige bevraging in Vlaanderen die specifiek gericht is op het thema wonen, na het Grote Woononderzoek (GWO) uit 2013 en de Woonsurvey van 2005. In de loop van 2018 werden hiervoor ongeveer 3000 huishoudens in Vlaanderen geïnterviewd over hun woonsituatie. (Info van de uitgever)
