Recent Advances in Research on Housing Transitions and the Life Course
A one-day symposium on recent developments in research on housing transitions through the life course was held on 10 December 2013 at the Royal Statistical Society in London. The event featured presentations from leading international demographers, geographers and economists on different aspects of housing careers. Topics included:
- the interrelationship between housing and fertility: childbearing patterns by housing conditions and housing changes after the birth of a child
- wage, employment and house-price effects on migration
- intergenerational transmission of home ownership and neighbourhood poverty
- residential mobility, neighbourhood poverty dynamics and neighbourhood choice among families
The symposium was sponsored by the ESRC-funded project “ Interrelationships between housing transitions and fertility”.
