DESCRIPTION:Politicians and the popular press frequently identify the grow
 th of private renting amongst young people to be one of the most important
  adverse consequences of the British ‘housing crisis’. Particular conc
 ern has been directed towards the rapid increase in private renting amongs
 t young families unable to either afford homeownership or access social ho
 using. This trend is thought to be problematic because high housing costs\
 , limited tenure security and relatively poor dwelling quality mean that t
 he private rental sector often does not cater well for young families seek
 ing long-term accommodation. In this presentation I use data from the Offi
 ce for National Statistics Longitudinal Study of England and Wales to char
 t young families’ changing use of the private rental sector between 2001
  and 2011. In order to assess whether trends in the housing system are dee
 pening social inequality I pay particular attention to the changing demogr
 aphic and socio-economic profile of young private renters.
