Kelvin Davidson: Cotality Chief Property Economist on the reports claiming women are being left behind in the property market

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

Women are continuing to lag significantly behind men when it comes to home ownership. Data from Cotality shows more than half of Gen Z men surveyed own their own home, while just a third of women do.  The disparity also exists amongst the millennial and Gen X age groups. Cotality Chief Property Economist Kelvin Davidson says it's not an attitude issue.   "Females actually rate property ownership more important than males, pretty much across the spectrum. So this is about other things, monetary factors, there's unfortunately still that gender wage gap across New Zealand." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
