“No one has children at their parents’ home”: association warns of impact of housing crisis on birth rate

The Housing Rights and Public Policies Association (AHDPP) highlights that the structural housing deficit, currently estimated at between 150,000 and 300,000 units, is a primary driver behind delayed family formation and youth emigration. To close this gap within a decade, the association estimates Portugal needs to build between 45,000 and 65,000 homes annually, significantly outpacing the current rate of construction.
