This paper explores empirically how the change to a risk society might be manifest in family life courses and, more particularly, housing careers. A cohort analysis of Australian Institute of Family Studies and Australian National University data seeks evidence of 'differentiation' and 'disconnectedness' in housing careers. Cohort differences in leaving the parental home, returns to the parental home, entering home purchase, and the sequencing of housing career and other life course events are examined as a means of assessing the extent to which Australian housing careers need to be reconceptualised in the transformation to a risk society.
