“…However, the role of housing transitions in the period of emerging adulthood represents a key interrelated process that remains less understood. Housing is an important consideration both in its impact on quality of life as well as, through property investment, potential future economic security (Doling & Ronald, 2010). The simple 'housing ladder' model posits progressive shifts from home-leaving to rental housing, to eventual homeownership (Beer & Faulkner, 2011;Kendig et al, 1987).…”

Transitions to adulthood not only represent a key period for individual development but also contribute to processes of social stratification. Growing evidence has pointed to increased complexity, postponement and individualization in transition dynamics. Previous research has focused on trends in school-to-work transitions and family formation; however, the central role of housing represents an interrelated process that is less understood. As pathways to adulthood have diversified, many young people experience partial independence in one sphere while continued dependence in others. Semi-dependent housing, either through parental coresidence or shared living, can be an important coping mechanism. Using the EU-SILC dataset, the research investigates the role that semi-dependent living plays within emerging adulthood across varied European contexts. The data suggests that the extent and type of semi-dependent housing varies substantially across EU15 countries. The findings indicate that levels of housing independence can be partly explained by welfare regime context while the propensity for shared living appears correlated with affordability in the rental market.Although socio-cultural and economic trends play an important and interrelated role, the study argues that housing dynamics of young adulthood and the role of semi-dependent living is fundamentally shaped by the context of the housing system and welfare regime.

“…For example, a great deal of recent research on home ownership in Europe and Australia has focused on housing equity: how equity is made use of by owner-occupiers (Naumanen and Ruonavaara 2016), how equity is distributed between different social groups (Norris and Winston 2012), to what extent households perceive housing wealth as providing security at old age (Naumanen, Perista, and Ruonavaara 2012), whether governments are starting to reformulate welfare policies towards housing asset-based welfare (Doling and Ronald 2010). These questions have centrally to do with housing and therefore, they can be seen to fall into the scope of housing research.…”

Four positions concerning theorising housing-related phenomena are discussed.(1) Theory of housing (v1) : It is possible and desirable to construct a theory of housing to which all housing-related research topics can be related. (2) Theory about housing: It is not possible, nor desirable to try to construct a theory of housing; one should rather apply theoretical resources developed in established disciplines and research fields in theorising housing-related topics. (3) Theory from housing: It is possible and desirable to theorise housing by scrutinising the nature of housing as a special activity and experience. (4) Theory of housing (v2) : It is possible and desirable to construct a theory about the invariable relationships between features of the housing system and features of society. Theory of housing (v1) is shown to be questionable basically due to the fact that housing is not a research topic but a common denominator of various topics. Theory about housing is acceptable with the qualification that housing research can feed back to more general theorising. Theory from housing offers a limited perspective on theorising but it can serve as a necessary check to other theorising. Problems with Theory of housing (v2) have to do with the balance between abstract generalisation and concrete empirical/historical analysis.

“…Homeownership has substantially grown under conditions of welfare state restructuring, as it is ideologically cast as the most desirable form of tenure (Ronald 2008). With welfare safety nets dismantled, individuals are encouraged to secure future welfare through asset accumulation (Doling and Ronald 2010). Homeownership is promoted as an effective means for households to accumulate assets, as they pay off mortgage debt and raise house prices.…”
