DESCRIPTION:The size of the private residential sector is more than half t
 he housing stock in some countries but less than one tenth in others. This
  variation might be the result of sets of social\, economic and institutio
 nal factors that have operated over many years. The observed differences m
 ay also be related to definitions and the ways that data are recorded and 
 presented. Policy measures by governments that influence the composition o
 f the housing stock and the supply of housing in various tenures may also 
 have an impact. It is the last set of factors that is the focus of this pr
 esentation. The paper stems from research for Department of Communities an
 d Local Government\, Promoting Investment in Private Rented Housing Intern
 ational Comparisons (2010)\; ESRC\, Knowledge Exchange Project\, Boosting 
 the Supply of Affordable Housing: Learning from other Countries (2013) bot
 h led by the speaker and work at CCHPR for Realdania\, Denmark: The Privat
 e Rented Sector in the New Century – A Comparative Approach\, (2010-2012
 ).\n\nMichael Oxley is the new (from 1st Jan 2014) Director of the Cambrid

 or of Housing at De Montfort University and he is a visiting Research Fell
