Have Housing Prices Affected Residents’ Level of Social Integration?

Abstract

In recent decades, most cities in China have experienced a large number of population movements, and the local integration of mobile populations has become a new challenge, not only in relation to their own quality of life, but also in relation to the development potential of the cities. While urban housing prices have soared, real estate has gradually become the main economic industry in China, and high housing prices have brought enormous housing pressure to this group. This paper analyzes the negative impact of house prices on social integration by combining labor market discrimination theory.
