This article focuses on the housing problem faced by young talents living in mega-cities. It is based on the data from “the Survey of Current Housing Condition for Young Talents”，conducted by the research team in 2013. This report analyses the significance of solving the housing problem faced by young talents with a view of the generational transmission. It divides the young talents in Beijing into three categories：those who own their own house，those who live with their parents or relatives and those who rent houses and wraps up the housing dilemma they face and the underlying reasons and gives suggestions on helping more young people get their own housing by improving the house-renting market.
