    Re:CAP Ep.10: Glass Ceilings - Gendered Inequality in the Housing System

    Welcome back to Re:CAP - Per Capita's premier podcast where we unpack our latest research and examine the inequalities in Australian society. 
     
    This week, Emma Dawson is joined by Per Capita’s Andrew Herington Fellow, Lucy Tonkin, to chat about the Centre for Equitable Housing’s second paper from their Australian Housing Monitor: Glass Ceilings: Gendered Inequality in the Housing System. 
     
    This paper explores some of the gendered inequalities within the housing system, based on the Australian Housing Monitor, a recent survey of nearly 4000 people. Differences in how men and women experience affordability, security, and quality of housing are evident across nearly every metric.
