21st century housing careers and Australia's housing future
The focus for this National Research Venture is on the nature and direction of housing careers into the 21st century and the implications of these changing patterns of housing consumption for housing policy in Australia.
The research seeks to answer the overarching question: How are housing careers changing in Australia and what are the implications of change for government-provided housing assistance and housing policy?
Housing careers are an important component in the explicit and implicit development of housing policy in Australia within all tiers of government. They also underpin the decisions of builders, developers, rental investors and home purchasers. The housing career is a model of progression through different housing tenures, with each move being associated with a different stage of the individual and family life course. Typically private renting was associated with leaving the parental home and a move into home ownership associated with partnering and family formation.
Changes within the broad parameters of Australian housing careers will have substantial flow on effects for the demand for government services and the development – and delivery – of housing policies. The implications will extend beyond housing policy per se, shaping income support policies, health provision, the disability area and labour force participation.
