Abstract
This paper uses data from the Rowntree Follow-up Survey to provide new empirical evidence on the association between the housing status of parents and children. The paper concludes that there appear to be some significant continuities across successive family generations in tenure, density and housing expenditure. The results are relevant to assessments of the 'fairness' of the distribution of housing and raise interesting questions for future work on the determinants of housing status.Keywords
