The article addresses the concept of asset-based welfare which is a growing research area focused on the role of household estate in old-age security. The paper begins with a general background on the concept of asset-based welfare with particular reference to housing wealth. The author discusses its main features, according to which the individual accumulation of wealth can be a viable alternative to the public system of social policy, especially with regard to old age income support.
