Housing and home ownership has been strongly embedded in East Asian
socioeconomic and policy models. Based on the primacy of national
economic growth objectives, it was promoted as a means of, on the
one hand, contributing directly to economic growth through the
motor of the construction industry, and, on the other, supporting a
low-taxation, low-public-expenditure economy with minimal social
protection measures based on the support of the family. In recent
years, however, this housing pillar is facing new social, economic,
political and demographic challenges, including a decline in the
political authority of authoritarian states, the undermining of
traditional developmental logic, fragmentation of families and
household types and the growing volatility of housing markets. Most
of these have been generated or exacerbated by intensified
globalization and economic crises in recent years.
Through contextual, conceptual and empirically focused chapters,
nine of which deal with a different country - China, Hong Kong,
Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and
Thailand - this book explores the development of housing policies
and practices that have responded to dynamic socioeconomic and
demographic restructuring.
