Why are young women less likely to own the home they live in?

New figures show New Zealand women are significantly under-represented in property ownership. 

More than half (53%) of Gen Z men and two-thirds (66%) of Millennial men own the home they live in. 

That’s compared to the female figures of about a third and under half, respectively. 

Today on The Front Page, Cotality NZ’s chief property economist, Kelvin Davidson is with us to discuss what’s contributing to the discrepancy, and how we might be able to fix it.
