This paper aims to identify housing challenges young people in Macao are facing, and how government policies can help overcome them. It does so by investigating young people’s housing choices, options and aspirations as well as the gaps between such aspiration and the reality of the housing system in Macao. Government housing policies in both private and public housing market are discussed with particular implication for young people. Finally, we provide a discussion on whether, and how big, unaffordable housing is a problem to young people in Macao.
