Although a strong indicator of social status, home ownership has rarely emerged as a topic in social inequality research. This book compares twelve countriesthe United States, Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Israelto determine the interdependence of social inequality and homeownership attainment over the life course. Examining countries that are similar with respect to socioeconomic development, but different in regard to their housing policies, the authors show that housing policies matter and are largely consistent with a countrys general approach in the provision of welfare.This book presents a valuable contribution to the social stratification literature, which traditionally has neglected the dimension of home ownership. It goes beyond most housing studies by adopting a lifecourse framework and longitudinal approach. The empirical findings provide evidence that in all countries under studyeven those of the social democratic welfare regime typelabor market position matters in ones chances to become a homeowner.
