Abstract

Abstract:

In recent years,social problems caused by the mismatch of housing security supply and demand have attracted much attention.An analysis of the housing survey data of Guangzhou residents in 2008 and 2011 from the perspective of life course shows that low income residents have the characteristics of low education level,low income,job instability,and high percentage of serious illness,disability or psychosis,divorce or the death of a spouse.Low income residents' property type security demand has an inverted U-shaped trend during their life cycles,which drops significantly after the age of thirty.Those families who have low education level,low incomes,job instability,and have school-age children would prefer to rent houses,and favor shorter commute.Social events,including dramatic changes of national policies,affect specific cohorts and groups' housing demand.These special families are affected much more negatively by such social events,and need more housing security.This paper suggests that the purpose of housing security is to provide support for low income families,the design of housing security system,the planning of security housing,and community services should take housing security objects' life course into consideration,and balance the supply and demand of security housing.

Key words: life course, urban low income family, lease type security, property type security
