Abstract

Home ownership is the largest component of wealth for most households and its intergenerational transmission underpins the production and reproduction of economic inequalities across generations. Yet, little is currently known about ethnic differences in the intergenerational transmission of housing tenure. In this paper, we use linked Census data covering 1971–2011 to document rates of intergenerational housing tenure mobility across ethnic groups in England and Wales. We find that while home ownership declined across all ethnic groups during this period, there were substantial differences between them. Black, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi households experienced the strongest intergenerational link between parent and child housing tenure, and Black individuals had the highest rates of downward housing mobility. In contrast, those of Indian origin had homeownership rates similar to White British families, and a weaker link between parent and child housing tenure. These patterns are likely to exacerbate existing gradients in other dimensions of ethnicity-based inequality, now and in the future.

英格兰和威尔士代际住房流动性的种族差异

住房所有权是大多数家庭财富的最大组成部分，它的代际传递支撑着代际经济不平等的产生和再生产。然而，目前对住房使用权代际传递中的种族差异知之甚少。在本文中，我们使用1971-2011年的人口普查数据来记录英格兰和威尔士各族裔间住房代际流动性的比率。我们发现，虽然在这一时期，所有种族的住房拥有率都有所下降，但他们之间存在着实质性的差异。黑人、巴基斯坦人和孟加拉国人的家庭在父母和子女的住房使用权之间经历了最强的代际联系，黑人个人的住房向下流动率最高。相比之下，印度裔家庭的住房拥有率与英国白人家庭相似，父母和子女的住房使用权之间的联系较弱。这些模式可能会在现在和将来加剧基于种族的不平等的其他方面现有的梯度。
