过半数的90后不愿买房
More than 55 percent of college grads born in the 1990s would rather not buy homes if that means having to "bear the heavy burden of housing loans", said a recent blue paper by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Only one-third of graduates of the post-1990s generation are willing to compromise on quality of life for the sake of buying a home, it said. About 30 percent of them lived in a space of less than 20 square meters a year after graduation, but they are more willing to improve their life quality rather than having a larger living space. Housing prices in China's first-tier cities are more than 40 times the average income of residents, challenging young people's capability and willingness to buy homes. Young people in Beijing and Shanghai have already postponed buying their first homes, with the average age of 30 for first buyers in 2013 rising to 34 in 2016. China's floating population reached 247 million in 2015, and the figure will rise to 282 million in 2020 and 327 million in 2030, meaning one-fifth of Chinese will be on the move over 10 years. As a result, living in rented homes may become a preferable lifestyle for most people. According to a report by Beijing Homelink Real Estate Brokerage, China had 160 million tenants in 2015, a figure that could jump to 190 million in 2020 and 270 million by 2030. |
