Dear Sociology of Youth TG members,
We are pleased to let you know that registration is open for our Generations and Housings Symposium hosted at ECU in Perth (and on Zoom) on Monday 25th November 2024, the Monday before the TASA Conference.
The symposium will tackle the ‘wicked problem’ of housing by:
- Problem-solving the lack of affordable housing, lack of housing diversity and options, and rising housing costs;
- Scrutinising the causes and blockages to adequate public/ social housing;
- Rising rates of housing precarity (including homelessness);
- The housing needs and desires of ageing populations (which includes younger and older people);
- Generational tensions created by the asset economy;
- Diverse strategies pursued to acquire housing (i.e., intergenerational transfers, co-living arrangements, shared ownership);
- The role of housing insecurity in shaping the lifecourse and life trajectories of younger and older people;
- Housing development (including mixed-zones) and urban sprawl;
- Sustainable and inclusive housing development and design; and
- The challenges and problems associated with planning and design of homes (including supported living), and the integration of technologies.
