Abstract: CRV 2: 21st Century Housing Careers and Australia’s Housing Futures examines the nature and direction of housing careers into the 21st Century and the implications of changing patterns of housing consumption for housing policy in Australia. The CRV seeks to answer the overarching question: How are housing careers changing in Australia and what are the implications of change for government-provided housing assistance and housing policy? The objective of this research is to advance the evidence base around 21st Century housing careers in Australia and shed light on how shifts in household structure, the labour market, fertility patterns, attitudes to homeownership and government assistance, will influence the demand for government interventions in housing markets over the next 10, 20 and 30 years. This Positioning Paper has reviewed the evidence base around changing housing careers in Australia in order to: • Ensure that all subsequent stages of CRV 2 are adequately conceptualised; • Provide the context for the collection of empirical data for CRV 2. This includes ensuring that the qualitative and quantitative data collection methodologies are appropriate and focus on the key questions for the further development of our understanding of contemporary housing careers.
