Differentiation in Housing Careers: The Case of Pakistanis in the UK

Explaining the route to owner-occupation: A transatlantic comparison

“…Ethnic minorities in higher occupational groups do not face the same housing problems as those who are less well off.

Of course, data limitations are again a major reason for the limited number of studies in this field.…”
