This report has been commissioned by the Centre for Housing Research, Aotearoa New Zealand (CHRANZ). The report brings together current information and research on intergenerational and interfamilial transfers of wealth and housing. The information from New Zealand and overseas is brought into a framework that allows a research programme to be developed.
This report is a scoping paper that focuses on private intergenerational and interfamilial transfers.
Purpose
The aim of the project is to prepare a report that reviews the current New Zealand situation and literature on intergenerational and interfamilial transfers of wealth and housing. The report identifies the next steps to approaching this issue and provides recommendations for further research.
