Unsafe as Houses: The Socio-Cultural Aspects of the Current Housing Crisis in Britain
Original language description
Britain, one of the most densely populated countries in Europe, has suffered from a shortage of affordable homes since the era of the Industrial Revolution. There have been several housing crises in modern British history, but the present one, caused bya mixture of recent economic and demographic factors, is unprecedented in its overall impact. The paper aims to demonstrate how the current housing squeeze has affected the quality of life of Britons, tracing its influence on their social and cultural capital. The increasing unaffordability of home ownership, together with the unavailability of council homes, sold off into private hands under the Right to Buy policy, are shown to have given rise to a group called Generation Rent, whose social identity is discussed in the final part of the paper.
