“…Indeed, while the position of housing in policy was undeveloped in EspingAndersen's original theory, and incidental in Holliday's conceptualization, researchers have increasingly considered state approaches to housing as a welfare regime pillar (Barlow and Duncan 1994;Castles and Ferrera 1996;Groves, Murie, and Watson 2007;Harloe 1995;Hoekstra 2003;Hulse 2003;Kemeny 2001;Ronald and Kyung 2013). This paper thus takes housing as a focus for understanding broader shifts in Chinese welfare capitalism.…”

Following decades of deep marketization, Chinese housing policy has recently revived public housing provision, stimulating debate over whether China is moving towards a more socialized approach to housing. While such a move represents a remarkable shift in the role of housing as a welfare good or service, little research has considered recent developments in housing from a welfare regime perspective. Indeed, while the salience of housing systems to welfare regimes has been widely recognized in comparative research, this link has rarely been explored in the case of China. This paper applies a welfare regime framework to the historical development of Chinese housing system, and specifically, to empirically examine recent transformations in the housing system through contrasting examples from two Chinese cities: Beijing and Chongqing. The analysis indicates the emergence of a hybrid housing system combining socialist, social-democratic and productivist elements, focused on the chimeric needs of urban populations that are balanced between indigenous city residents and urban migrants.

“…This general picture can be further specified. Kemeny has developed a typology of rental tenure systems in affluent countries (Kemeny, 1995), which is continuously discussed (Balchin, 1996;Hulse, 2003;Matznetter, 2002;Stephens, Burns & MacKay, 2003;Heijden, 2002). According to this typology, rental systems may be unitary or dual, reflecting the role of non-profit rental sector.…”

“…Research on housing and the welfare states has shown that liberal regimes like Australia, the US and Canada are characterized by a dualist rental market, with large private rental markets and a stigmatized and residual state housing provision to those who are most in need (Barlow & Duncan 1994, Hulse 2003, Kemeny 1995. As Watson (1988) has argued, housing policy in Australia is also very much structured around the patriarchal family form and the breadwinner model, so that housing policies and provision also maintain and reinforce women in disadvantaged positions and lower economic status.…”

While some of the theoretical debates within housing studies in the last decade have focused on developing social constructionist perspectives that enable the analysis of both social structures and everyday discourses, very little work has applied these theories to qualitative studies. In addition, there has been a lack of recent studies taking feminist and gendered approaches to housing studies. This is all the more surprising as, firstly, the number of women living under the poverty line and receiving housing assistance is considerably higher than men, and secondly, feminist perspectives have had considerable theoretical influence in the social sciences as a tool to understanding social and economic inequalities. In this article, I will be drawing on feminist theory on welfare states and Pierre Bourdieu's theory of gender and practice in order to explore the ways in which women who live below the poverty line in Australia are marginalized and kept in disadvantaged positions. In order to do so, I will draw on in-depth interviews with women in two states, Victoria and New South Wales.
