| Social justice is one of the goals of human beings and the foundation to realize China Dream.Housing fairness is an important content of social justice and a major objective of housing policy.The average housing level enhances unceasingly since the housing system reform in our country.But the problem of housing unfairness is growing prominent.So it has become an urgent task for the government to promote housing fairness.This thesis expounds the connotation of housing fairness,explains the fairness objective of housing policy,and establishes the theoretical framework of housing policy and housing fairness.On this basis,the housing fairness index is constructed to analyze the present situation of housing fairness in China.And then,the impacts of housing provident fund policy and affordable housing policy on housing allocation are empirically analyzed.Further,the simulation model of housing allocation is built to analyze the impact of policy improvements on housing fairness,which may help to improve our housing policy.The results show that: Firstly,the fairness objective of housing policy is to promote equal housing opportunity and housing outcome equality so that all families have equal access to housing and have suitable housing.Secondly,there is a trend of deterioration in the degree of housing fairness in China and the causes of housing unfairness are various among different cities.Thirdly,housing provident fund policy has insufficient support for low-income families,which is not conducive to promote housing fairness.Middleincome families are the main beneficiary groups,but low-income families can not benefit from the policy due to the lack of housing opportunity.Fourthly,there are some problems in affordable housing policy,though the degree of housing fairness is advanced by the policy.On the one hand,the improper entry criteria,which may lead to the excessive concentration of housing opportunity to lowincome families,may trigger the problem of welfare trap.On the other hand,the probability of access to affordable housing of in-system families is higher than that of out-system families,and the distribution system of “low wage and high welfare” still exists in in-system units.According to the above results,the thesis suggests that: Firstly,the government and the public should have a correct view of housing fairness.The government should promote housing fairness with suitable measures to local condition.And the public should be patient because it needs long time to promote housing fairness.Secondly,the reform of housing provident fund policy should be implemented.And a new system of policy housing finance should be built to increase support for low-income families.In the transition of reform,some improvements can be taken such as lowering the extracting threshold and adopting preferential policy for low-income families.Thirdly,affordable housing system should be improved to prevent welfare trap by dealing with the relationship between housing security and housing market.And the improvement of relaxing the entry criteria and developing the step-shaped discount can be taken.The reform of housing system and income distribution system should be further deepened by treating in-system and outsystem families equally in affordable housing allocation and increasing the wage of in-system units. |
