Publisher's Synopsis

Housing as a major dimension structuring social inequality, substantiated with quantitative and qualitative data, is the focus of this work. It examines women's housing experiences in Hong Kong and shows how the complex interplay between the patriarchal culture, the capitalist labour market, minimal social welfare provision under a new right government, the housing system and related housing practices, construct and perpetuate gender inequality. The book propounds an alternative approach in addressing gender and housing inequality, and sheds light on social player analysis.
