We are pleased to announce a one-day symposium on recent developments in research on housing transitions through the life course. The event will feature presentations from leading international demographers, geographers and economists on different aspects of housing careers. Topics include:
- 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
SPEAKERS:
William A.V. Clark (University of California, Los Angeles) Clara Mulder (University of Groningen), Heather Joshi (Institute of Education) Hill Kulu (University of Liverpool) David Manley (University of Bristol) Birgitta Rabe (University of Essex) Elizabeth Washbrook (University of Bristol)

[ I mentioned to the organisers about the ongoing transitions I have posted about before; that of older adults moving house (home) often in response to a bereavement to be nearer other family members. This is not the symposium's focus, but remains a question in terms of the potential impact on the individuals concerned and health and social services. pj ]
