The purpose of this paper is to disclose youth assessment of Lithuanian housing policy. The paper discusses housing policy and the youth housing challenges. The empirical part of the paper is based ...on the Lithuanian youth original empirical research results “Housing Provision for the Youth in Lithuania: Opportunities and Problems” carried out in 2017–2018. This research was carried out in the framework of the project” Housing Provision for the Youth: Processes, Problems and Solutions in Lithuania (JABS)” (GER 007/17) funded by the Lithuanian Science Council National Research Program “Welfare Society”. The results of the survey research revealed that Lithuanian housing policy young people assess rather unfavourably. According to the respondents there is a lack of more active State role and regulation of housing policy, housing policy regulation, more effective action against “shadow” housing rental. Analysis of the research results according to the social demographics characteristics indicated that women are tend to stress more State support for the first housing provision, cash benefits and compensations for housing maintenance. Moreover, 30–35 years old persons indicated more State support for the first housing provision than representatives of the other youth age groups.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ppaa.17.3.21959
Young People and Housing brings together new research exploring the economic, social, and cultural challenges that face young people in search of permanent housing. Featuring international case ...studies from Asia, Europe, and Australia, Young People and Housing is a collection of groundbreaking work from leading scholars in housing policy.
Younger generations across a wide range of societies face increasing difficulties in gaining access to housing. Housing occupies a pivotal position in the transition from parental dependence to adult independence. Delayed independence has significant implications for marriage and family formation, fertility, inter and intra generational tensions, social mobility and social inequalities.
The social and cultural dimensions are, of course, enormously varied with strong contrasts between Asian and Western societies in terms of intergenerational norms and practices in relation to housing. Nevertheless, younger households in China (including Hong Kong), Japan, the USA, Australasia and Europe face very similar challenges in the housing sphere. Moreover, concerns about the housing future for younger generations are gaining greater policy and popular prominence in many countries.
The lack of housing in areas where young adults have greater opportunities to study and get work complicates young adults’ entry into the adulthood. Difficulties in accessing housing may therefore ...delay childbearing and may negatively have an effect on education opportunities. To increase housing accessibility, some municipalities have earmarked apartments for young adults. These “youth dwellings” are criticized for being small and not necessarily facilitating family formation and fertility, better suiting students’ needs. We have in this paper compared the long-term pattern of childbearing and education for young adults that entered their housing market through small cheap youth housing with those youngsters that received a rental apartment from the ordinary housing stock. To be able to draw the conclusion that differences in fertility and educational pattern between these two groups comes from the different housing situation and not from differences in in preferences when it comes to childbearing or individual prerequisites for higher education, we have used a geocoded data and information on the individual’s family background as well as a matching technique to create a comparison group that are similar to the treatment group in several aspects. The present results indicate that building affordable housing that is small and space efficient is sufficient and positive if the aim is to promote higher education. Affordable housing is on the other hand not enough to promote childbearing, instead, it seems to inhibit childbearing until there is a possibility of moving on in the housing career. Our result also indicates that the next step need not necessarily be homeownership, as earlier research has indicated. Entering the housing market via youth housing and then being able to move on to rental accommodation in the ordinary housing market also seems to have a positive effect on overall childbearing, although moving to cooperative housing or owned housing has an even larger effect.

본 연구는 Kingdon의 다중흐름모형에 기초하여 ‘역세권 2030 청년주택(이하 역세권 청년주택)’의 정책형성과정을 분석하고 ‘협력’이 정책형성과정에 미치는 영향을 탐구해보고자 한다. 이를 위해 조례 제정을 기점으로 정책형성과정을 정책 도입기와 정책 변동기로 구분하고, 문헌 검토, 언론분석, 인터뷰 등을 활용하여 비교분석하였다. 정책 도입기에는 정책 ...혁신가인 서울시장을 중심으로 역세권 청년주택이 신속하게 추진되었으나, 이 과정에서 청년 당사자는 배제되었다. 이로써 조례 제정이라는 가시적 성과를 조기에 성취하였지만, 지속적으로 공공성에 대한 비판에 직면하였다. 그러나 정책 변동기에는 서울시와 청년 당사자의 ‘협력’이 시작되어, 청년 당사자가 정책 혁신가로 부상하기 시작했다. 서울청년정책네트워크 활동을 통한 청년당사자의 시정참여, 서울시와 청년당사자의 면담 및 간담회와 함께 청년당사자의 청년주택 운영자문위원회 참여 등 공적 기구를 통한 제도화된 ‘협력’이 나타나게 된 것이다. 이로써 청년 당사자는 정책의 장에 안정적으로 접근할 수 있었다. 이는 정책의 공공성이 향후 ‘역세권 청년주택 2.0 계획’에서 개선되는 결과로 이어졌다. 연구결과는 정치행위자들 간의 ‘협력’이 정책의 공공성 개선에 기여하였으며, 그 메커니즘은 ‘협력’의 제도화를 통해 ‘협력’의 제도화를 통해 마련되었음을 시사한다.
This study aims to investigate the formation process of ‘Seoul’s 2030s Youth Housing Policy in the Station District’(hereinafter, Youth Housing Policy in Station Area)’ and examine the impact of collaboration that led to policy changes using Kingdon’s multiple-stream framework. The policy formation process is divided into two time periods based on the enactment of the ordinance and analyzed with literature review, media analysis, and interviews. First, during the policy adoption period, the Mayor of Seoul, a policy innovator, carried out the Youth Housing policy in Station Area but the opinion of young people were excluded. As a result, the ordinance was quickly enacted but it countinued to face criticism of publicness. However, during the policy change period, Seoul Government and young people collaborated and young people emerged as policy innovators. WIth the collaborative governance, young adults participated in the Youth Housing Operation Advisory Committee which is the‘institutionalized’ collaboration. This means that young adults were able to access the policy field. Thus, the revised version of this policy with enhanced publicity was released. This study concluded that collaboration among political actors in policy formation process improved the publicness of policy.
This article argues that youth housing workers in Victoria, Australia, are vulnerable to housing affordability problems and one reason for this is inadequate pay. A survey of 10 youth housing workers ...explained the ways in which they had struggled to afford housing. Some paid more than 30% of their wage on housing costs. Others relied on income other than their youth housing worker salary to afford rental accommodation, which included pay from a second job, drawing on credit, and financial support from partners, family, and friends. Most reported that they did not have sufficient income to save to purchase a home. These findings resonate with secondary source aggregate data, which identified that for almost a decade the pay of youth homelessness service workers in Victoria has not kept pace with average wage growth and rises in rents and house prices. Improving youth housing workers pay is recommended as a way to address their housing affordability concerns.
