Report -Housing Inequality in Europe, COE development bank

Overview of Key Findings
Housing inequality in Europe is a complex topic because of the many different ways in which governments deal
with it and the wide variety of housing market models that exist throughout the continent. However, housing
inequalities can be both a symptom and a cause of existing income inequalities; poor households cannot afford
better homes and live in neighbourhoods that exacerbate inequalities. This study was drafted by Edo Omic (Economist) under the supervision of Jérôme Halb (Director of
Corporate Responsibility & Studies Department, Deputy Director for European Cooperation & Strategy).
