ENHR Cambridge workshop - Families, Housing and the Asset Society

The ENHR Cambridge workshop, “Families, Housing, and the Asset Society,” explored how housing has evolved from being primarily a place to live into a major source of wealth and inequality. Researchers and policymakers discussed topics such as homeownership, housing affordability, intergenerational wealth transfers, family support in accessing housing, and the growing divide between homeowners and renters, with the aim of understanding how housing markets shape social mobility, family life, and economic outcomes across different countries.
