DESCRIPTION:In the aftermath of the global economic crisis\, housing polic
 y has leapt up the British political agenda and become the focus of renewe
 d public debate. Particular attention has been directed towards how the gr
 owing difficulty of accessing homeownership is leading young adults to rem
 ain longer in rental accommodation. This postponement of home purchase is 
 often thought to be challenging the intergenerational contract\, limiting 
 social mobility and inhibiting political aspirations to create a ‘homeow
 nership society’. \n\nWhile much research has focused upon how the econo
 mic crisis has helped to create ‘Generation Rent’\, many of the forces
  restructuring young adults’ housing careers significantly predate 2007.
  As a result\, disentangling the effects of the crisis requires understand
 ing how young adults’ housing aspirations and pathways to homeownership 
 have changed over the longer term. This paper will present and discuss the
  initial findings of a new project exploring these issues using English so
 cial survey data.
