Resumo: | This paper uses the survey data of graduates from six ‘985 Project’ Universities1 in 2010, and for the first time systematically elaborates homeownership of young middle class, i.e. those born in the 1980s generation, and its influence factors. The research shows that: the overall homeownership rate of the ‘985 Project’ Universities graduates is higher than the average rate of the urban youth in China; the graduates who own a house tend to have better-off parental backgrounds and have better quality of life, which reveals social division; parents’ financial help, their marriage status and age are the most important factors influencing homeownership. The results emphasize the increasingly important social stratification function of housing. The government needs to increase the macroeconomic control on real estate and to enhance the housing welfare policies, so as to prevent further social segregation. |

Pela primeira vez, analisa-se sistematicamente a questão da casa própria entre jovens de classe média que nasceram nos anos 1980, e seus fatores de influência. A pesquisa mostra que a taxa de jovens com casa própria entre os entrevistados no ‘Projeto 985’ é inferior à taxa dos pares em países desenvolvidos, mas superior à taxa média entre a juventude urbana na China. Os graduados que possuem uma casa tendem a vir de famílias com nível socioeconômico mais elevado, e a ter uma melhor qualidade de vida, o que revela certa divisão social; a ajuda financeira dos pais, seu estado civil e idade são os fatores mais importantes que influenciam a possibilidade de contar com casa própria. Os resultados enfatizam a cada vez mais importante função de estratificação social da habitação. O governo precisa aumentar o controle macroeconômico sobre imóveis e reforçar as políticas de bem-estar habitacional, de modo a evitar mais segregação social.Editora da Pucrs - ediPUCRS2016-09-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/civitas/article/view/2306510.15448/1984-7289.2016.2.23065Civitas: journal of Social Sciences; Vol. 16 No. 2 (2016): Inequalities, stratification and social justice; 218-236Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 16 Núm. 2 (2016): Desigualdades, estratificação e justiça social; 218-236Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 16 n. 2 (2016): Desigualdades, estratificação e justiça social; 218-2361984-72891519-608910.15448/1984-7289.2016.2reponame:Civitas - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Porto Alegre.
