Lehman anniversary: Meet Generation Rent

Ten years ago, the collapse of Lehman Brothers triggered the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. To mark the anniversary, we will be exploring how it has changed people's daily lives.

In our first of a series of reports, we take a look at the housing market. For many young people, the dream of owning a home has been pushed out of reach. Property companies are now targeting 'generation rent' with cheaper, more sociable options.

And could another crisis be on its way? We posed that question to economist Roger Bootle.
