Abstract

ABSTRACT In the context of skyrocketing house prices and fierce competition for talents between cities, this study explores the housing pathways of young talents and their future migration plans in Shenzhen, China. Using the housing pathways approach and Bourdieu’s theory of practice with three concepts, this study uncovers how structural factors and the often-overlooked agency factors together influence the formation of different housing pathways. Drawing on 18 semi-structured interviews with young talents, four different housing pathways were identified: staying at parents’ home, private renting to owning, talented renting, and progressive private renting. We found that the interaction of habitus and different forms of capital shapes different housing pathways. In addition, young talents following different housing pathways have various future migration plans. This paper sheds new light on the use of the housing pathways approach and Bourdieu’s theory of practice in providing a nuanced understanding of housing and migration behaviour.

大城市青年人才的居住路径与迁移计划——以深圳为例

在房价飞涨、城市间人才竞争激烈的背景下，本研究探讨了中国深圳青年人才的住房路径和未来的移民计划。本研究运用住房路径研究方法和布迪厄的三个概念的实践理论，揭示了结构性因素和经常被忽视的代理因素如何共同影响不同住房路径的形成。通过对18位年轻人才的半结构化访谈，我们确定了四种不同的住房路径:住在父母家里、从私人租赁到拥有自己的住房、人才租赁和渐进式私人租赁。我们发现，不同形式的首都与居住习性的相互作用形成了不同的居住路径。此外，不同住房路径下的青年人才有不同的未来移民计划。本文对住房路径方法和布迪厄的实践理论的使用进行了新的阐释，提供了对住房和移民行为的细致理解。
