Är det unga vuxna eller bostadspolitiken som är problemet? : En diskursanalys av problemrepresentationen i Stockholm stads riktlinjer för bostadsförsörjning

This study aims to examine how the city of Stockholm represents the problem with housing shortages for young adults in their policies for housing supply. How the problem is represented has an impact on which measures are implemented to combat the housing shortage in the municipality. Drawing on Carol Bacchi’s “what’s the problem represented to be” framework the analysis in the study seeks to enlighten the implicit assumptions and underlying reasons for the housing supply strategy. The result of the study showed that two main representations of the problem can be detected. The first one is related to the municipalities’ limited conditions for building houses that match the needs of young adults. The other representation of the problem is related to the young adults as an economically weak group who have difficulties buying a home that matches their needs.
