Low-Income Housing Dilemma in Developing Countries in U.K

The paper applies the theory of social construction to explain how the housing crisis in developing countries continues to persist despite the active involvement of such international agencies as the World Bank, the State, the Private Sector Building Societies, and the households themselves. Using the theory of social construction, the paper traces how the key themes of Low-Income Housing  perceived as a risk to the financial mortgage business, the problem of the affordability phenomena, and the ineffectiveness of partnership arrangements in housing delivery are all socially constructed in so many ways that work against the alleviation of the housing dilemma for the poor.
