percent.
Out of India’s 1.21 billion population, 377 million people are urban dwellers.

9. HOUSING SHORTAGE
A deficiency or lack in number of houses needed to accommodate the population of
area is known as Housing Shortage.
Housing shortage occurs when supply of houses can not meet the demand for
house(Demand > Supply)
Growing concentration of people in urban areas has resulted in an increase in the
number of people living in slums and squatter settlements.
Higher prices of land and real estate in urban areas have induces the poor and the
economically weaker sections of the society to occupy the marginal lands typified by
poor houing stock, congestion and obsolescence.
Due to this there is wide gap exists between the demand and supply of housing, both
in terms of quantity and quality.

Next to food and clothing, house as a shelter is a basic human need. It is a composite
and complex good that fulfils some of the basic necessities of life.
It is estimated that overall employment generation in the economy due to investment in
housing/construction is eight times the direct employment.
The housing shortage and the significance of affordability housing in India should assist
the policy makers in designing and implementing specific and well targeted policies for
the overall benefit of housing sector.
