Abstract

The Great Financial Crisis has made it evident that the housing trajectories of young adults during an economic cycle are subject to change. These changes have been recognized in highly developed housing markets little, however, is known about changes taking place in post-socialist, still often defined as developing, countries. This article aims to foster an understanding of shifting housing transitions among young adults in Poland. This article analyzed pre-crisis and post-crisis changes in the living arrangements of Poles aged from 25 to 34 years old focussing on three types of accommodation: living with parents, renting or owning a flat. The results show that in Poland young people’s access to homeownership is declining and is compensated for by postponing moving out of the family home during the recessionary period and relocating to rental properties during the expansionary period.
