Paperback. The emergence of Britain as a fully-fledged home-owning society, has implications for how people think about housing. Housing is used: as a pension fund; to give resources for care needs; and, to sponsor access to private education. This book argues that housing is at the forefront of public policy and as a pillar of post-industrial welfare state. Series: Policy and Politics in the Twenty-First Century. Num Pages: 280 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: 1DBK; 3JM; JFF; JKS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 197 x 131 x 15. Weight in Grams: 306.
The emergence of Britain as a fully fledged home-owning society at the end of the 20th century has major implications for how houses are used not just as a home but as an asset. The key debate in this important and timely book is whether social policy and people's homes should be so closely connected, especially when housing markets are so volatile. It will be essential reading for all students and practitioners of housing and those concerned with how social and public policy is being shaped in the 21st century.
