The twenty-first century has so far been characterized by ongoing
realignments in the organization of the economy around housing and
real estate. Markets have boomed and bust and boomed again with
residential property increasingly a focus of wealth accumulation
practices. While analyses have largely focussed on global flows of
capital and large institutions, families have served as critical
actors. Housing properties are family goods that shape how members
interact, organise themselves, and deal with the vicissitudes of
everyday economic life. Families have, moreover, increasingly
mobilized around their homes as assets, aligning household
transitions and practices towards the accumulation of property
wealth. The capacities of different families to realise this,
however, are highly uneven with housing conditions becoming
increasingly central to growing inequalities and processes of
social stratification. This book addresses changing relationships
between families and their homes over the latest period of
neo-liberalization. The book confronts how transformations in
households, life-course transitions, kinship and intergenerational
relations shape, and are being shaped by, the shifting role of
property markets in social and economic processes. The chapters
explore this in terms of different aspects of home, family life and
socioeconomic change across varied national contexts.
