FT.com - Access to housing troubles Arab youth

Young Arabs are increasingly concerned about access to affordable housing, according to the results of an opinion poll released on Thursday.

Forty-three per cent of those surveyed in the Silatech survey conducted by the Gallup Centre for Muslim Studies said economic conditions in their communities were improving, but fewer than a third were satisfied with the availability of affordable housing – down from half in 2009.

Gallup interviewed 36,000 people aged between 15 and 29 in 20 countries across the Arab world and including the Comoros Islands, Djibouti and Somaliland last year before the regional uprisings.
