“…The geographical and social location of the housing units such as slum, non-slum, core and periphery of the urban area and inter-relationships among neighbours also influences the quality of housing and household well-being. As indicated by various studies conducted on housing market discrimination (Mishra, 2020; Thorat et al, 2015; Vithayathil et al, 2016), marginalised social group households have limited access to basic amenities and receive unfriendly behaviour from the majority social groups living in their locality. These vulnerable social groups not only experience discrimination in accessing housing—both rental and owned, but are also forced to vacate their houses and suffer other unpleasant consequences and compromises in the form of higher prices for the similar units in comparison to dominant social groups, besides long commute distance for work, access to poor basic amenities and other social and psychological consequences.…”

Equal and non-discriminatory access to housing is imperative to ensure right to housing for all. Inter-group inequality in access to housing continues to persist in both rural and urban areas in India. Housing is the highest household expenditure for a majority of households. Marginalised social groups experience discrimination in access to housing: both rental and owned. Despite having affordability, equal access to housing is denied for marginalised social groups. This article attempts to understand the inter-group inequality in access to housing based on NSSO 76th round, 2018. The article also measures the role of discrimination in denial of equal access to housing for marginalised social groups based on the decomposition analysis. The results of the article indicate that apart from income and other economic variables, discrimination based on social group identity determines the access to quality of housing. In comparison to dominant social groups, scheduled caste and religious minority households have lower access to good quality of housing despite similar incomes.

This article aims to provide a systematic analysis of inter-group inequality in access to good quality housing and basic amenities. It also attempts to discuss the socio-economic determinants of accessing housing and basic amenities. The article provides evidence of social identity-based discrimination by implying econometric analysis of decomposition methods. The findings of the article demonstrate that social group identities such as caste and religion play a significant role in determining the sufficiency, continuity and quality of housing and basic amenities. Inter-group inequality in accessing these essential services is significantly high in both rural and urban areas. The results of logistic regression model and decomposition method used in the article shows that social identity-based discrimination reduces the sufficiency and quality of housing and basic services availed by marginalized social groups such as scheduled caste, scheduled tribe and religious minorities. It can be argued from the analysis that right to adequate housing in terms of good quality dwelling and access to drinking water and sanitation is adversely affected by social exclusion and discrimination experienced by marginalized social groups.
