Heterogeneidad sociodemográfica en la calidad de lavivienda: España en comparación Europea

Abstract

Housing quality heterogeneity of Spanish households is explored, in relation to housing tenure and household life cycle. Five European countries, representing as many residential systems, have been compared, using 2007 data, the last year of the housing boom. The main result is that in Spain housing quality is not quite determined by tenure and life cycle, although the literature considers the opposite as almost universal. Paper finally points to the impact of the current crisis on these relationships.
