Abstract

This chapter introduces the specific nature of housing as both a service fulfilling basic needs and a capital-intensive commodity, which has long complicated understandings of housing policy in relation to the analysis of social policy. It analyses how housing policy and scholarly understandings thereof have fared over the last two decades, elaborating on the idea that what happens in one housing market sector, impacts on other sectors. Furthermore, the chapter reports on recent research arguing that trends in housing policy are intricately related to changes in welfare states, but also to broader economic developments. Illustrations include changes in tenure structure, intersecting with changes in the characteristics of households typically living in different tenures. The conclusion addresses key challenges for policy and research.
