Home ownership among the 2030 generation has hit a record low, falling below 30% while the asset gap with the over-50 age group continues to widen. In response, LH is strengthening policies to supply low-cost public housing through building remodels, and housing access is expanding to include overseas Koreans considering reverse migration.
