The changing nature and significance of housing provision within
welfare states is considered in this timely book. With housing
playing an increasingly important role in welfare provision, the
new welfare state emerging in different parts of the world is being
developed in the context of individual asset accumulation and the
private ownership of housing. Housing and the New Welfare State
shows that housing is becoming critical to asset-based welfare not
only in Western Europe but also in the six East Asian housing
systems that are a major focus of the book. Chapters by leading
East Asian scholars provide analysis of housing policies in
Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan. Also examined
are the 'four worlds' of welfare and housing; the causes and
consequences of the shift from tenants to home owners in the old
welfare states of Britain and other parts of Western Europe; and
the growth of the property-owning welfare state as a theme running
through contemporary policy in both East Asia and Europe.
