Hence, this paper focuses on housing affordability for the young generation, otherwise known as Gen Y. In general, the study on housing for Gen Y is inter-connected with the study on demographic factors. Gen Y has been confronted with several housing issues which is the main housing issue for Gen Y often relates to the affordability of buying.
