Abstract

Affordable housing study in Malaysia became widespread in the early 21st century since the government encourage home ownership for all income groups and beforehand the government was focused on the low cost housing provision. However, in the early affordable housing study, most of the research emphasis on affordability among the middle income group instead of study in different generation affordability, particularly among young graduate’s affordability. Hence, this paper will discuss on young graduate housing affordability in urban area and to be more specific, observing the negative consequences of unsustainable affordable housing that reflex to young graduate’s well-being. Affordable housing issue for young graduate is a vital issue as they are considered not eligible to purchase the low cost housing and cannot afford to buy the middle and high cost house.

Furthermore, this paper will discuss homeownership in Islamic perspective or Maqasid Syariah.
