  • Descrição: The last two decades have witnessed a substantial growth of the owner-occupied housing sector in urban China, where most people tend to follow a conventional life course in terms of ascending the housing ladder towards homeownership. Yet, with skyrocketing housing prices in the real estate market, fragmentation in housing opportunities has become more important in reshaping the structure of social inequalities. This paper investigates the disparities in housing careers between skilled migrants and their local counterparts in Nanjing, focusing on temporal and spatial aspects. Specifically, this paper examines how skilled migrants’ housing tenure and location change over time, to what extent these changes differ from those of skilled locals, and what factors contribute to the disparities between migrants and locals. The results verify that there are indeed disparities in housing careers between migrants and locals, and the foremost difference lies in the tenure, especially the tenure of the first residence. Spatially, migrants exhibit an outward-bound pattern, often associated with the transition from renting to owning. These disparities in housing careers could be primarily attributed not only to the gap of the intergenerational transfer of wealth between migrants and locals, which can be traced back to regional disparities in economic development, but also to the self-selection of migration. While facing skyrocketing housing prices, the timing of making a foray into the housing market is pivotal. This study also revealed the diminishing marginal utility of education that is found in terms of establishing a superior housing career. 过去二十年来，中国城市的自住住房部门大幅增长，大多数人倾向于遵循传统的生活方式，向上提升自己以加入有房一族的行列。然而，随着房地产市场房价飙升，住房机会的分割对于重塑社会不平等结构变得更加重要。本文调查了南京技术工人移民与当地同行之间的住房历程差异，重点是时间和空间方面。具体而言，本文探讨了技术工人移民的住房保有形式和地点随时间的变化情况，这些变化与当地技术工人的差异程度，以及导致移民与当地人之间差异的因素。结果证实，移民与当地人之间的住房历程确实存在差异，最重要的差异在于住房保有形式，尤其是第一个住所的保有形式。在空间上，移民表现出一种向外的模式，通常与从租赁到拥有的过渡有关。住房历程的这些差异的主要原因不仅是移民与当地人之间财富代际转移的差距（这可以追溯到经济发展的地区差异），也可归因于移民的自我选择。在面临暴涨的房价时，进入房地产市场的时机至关重要。这项研究还揭示了在建立住房历程优势方面教育的边际效用递减。
