Housing is a basic human need, yet for many people it is becoming increasingly inaccessible. How is the situation changing in Slovakia, what are the causes, and what possible solutions exist?

In conversation with Ján Výbošťok from the Institute of Geography, Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAV), and Department of Regional Geography and Regional Development, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius University (UK), we also discussed how housing accessibility and income disparities affect the lives of young people in Slovakia.

We explore the factors that determine who can afford housing and how opportunities in the real estate market vary depending on the region.
