Three-quarters of people in Britain fear it will be
impossible for future generations to have a home to settle down in. The
majority of Britons want to own their own home, but "generation rent"
is giving up on getting on the property ladder. Shelter branded the findings
"alarming" and warned the country is at the "mercy of the
housing crisis" which has left millions facing a "lifetime of instability". The survey found that for recent generations the chance
to have a "forever home" has been slipping increasingly out of reach.
The poll of 1,906 people found 74% of people in younger Generation X and Y said
it is harder for them to get a home to settle down in than it was for their parents'
generation. This compares with 44% of people born in the baby boomer or pre-war
years. Read more on Yahoo News.
