Abstract
The housing systems found in the welfare model of Mediterranean countries are particularly unfriendly towards young people. This article analyses the housing experiences of young graduates in a Mediterranean welfare context. We focus on the growing phenomenon of house sharing as a housing solution for these young people, a solution which has been explored in other housing model contexts but not in the Mediterranean. We find young people sharing largely due to economic constraints and yet experiences of sharing vary considerably, with some unhappily confined to living with unknown peers, whilst others live collectively with those they know and benefit greatly from the experience. We recommend that policy makers must learn from young people's experiences of shared living and improve the conditions they face in the private rental sector.
