Description
House price escalation in recent decades has made home ownership unattainable for more New Zealanders, leading to a sharp decline in home ownership rates. This trend is likely to shape people’s expectations regarding their housing pathways, potentially contributing to increased psychological distress. This project, led by Dr William Cheung, aims to understand how housing affordability influences mental health using data from the New Zealand Health Survey.
