Europe faces a housing affordability crisis that impacts all age groups, with particularly pronounced implications for young people. For them, the crisis may have far-reaching consequences, affecting educational and employment opportunities, household composition and formation, and current and future well-being.

It shows that, across several metrics, young people generally experience the housing crisis more acutely than older cohorts.
