Integration of International people in residential areas

Ehdotus

Even though an act of Non- discrimination adapted on all housing market from 2014, it is evident that discrimination of different groups occurs in the housing market in Helsinki. Housing market discrimination occurs when individuals receive differential treatment based on personal factors like race, ethnicity, gender, financial and educational status, etc. Some groups face increased difficulties gaining access to suitable and well-located residential areas in the city. Because highly segregated areas would make the city make more unstable and unsafe the city needs to study which residents of the city are most likely to face discrimination in accessing the housing market in a scientific manner so that the city will be able to take a targeted solution towards the problem. The results of the research then would be disseminated to the stakeholders and the public in the housing industry in forms of different methods.
