Phd Housing Governance for Healthy Aging
4 dagen geleden
Are you interested in research to understand housing inequality, and motivated to find governance approaches which can support older adult health and wellbeing?
Safe and suitable housing is necessary to support healthy aging, yet not all older adults can afford housing that meets their needs. While some older adults are well-off, with a stable home and accumulated financial resources (including housing wealth), others struggle to get by, living in more precarious situations. Systems to ensure older adults can access appropriate housing vary widely by country, and many countries rely increasingly on market mechanisms rather than a social safety net for later life housing provision. As many developed countries face aging populations, housing affordability crises, and fiscal challenges simultaneously, planners and policymakers need empirical evidence about the regulations, funding, and programs they can put in place to support older adult health and wellbeing.
This project investigates the role of housing governance-at the local and national levels-in supporting healthy aging, whether aging in place or transitioning to new living situations such as retirement communities or a form of assisted living. In a comparative framework, the project involves using mixed methods to analyse housing governance regimes and outcomes for older adult housing and health across countries within Europe, and states within the U.S., then to assess how these play out at the local level. The project involves three main objectives:
- Develop a typology of housing governance regimes related to older adult housing, using qualitative methods to observe housing regulations and programs across European countries and U.S. states.
- Assess the outcomes for older adult housing, health, and wellbeing, using quantitative methods to analyse secondary survey data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) and the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) in the US.
- Examine how housing governance for older adults plays out at the local level.
Your primary responsibility will be carrying out this research as part of the research team. Key responsibilities also include:
- Regularly present research results at workshops and conferences, and publish them in international journals.
- Follow relevant disciplinary and/or research methods courses as part of the Graduate School training program, based on an individual training and supervision plan.
- Participate in the scientific and collaborative research environment in the research group and the wider Faculty of Spatial Sciences.
- Contribute to the teaching programs of the Faculty of Spatial Sciences (approximately 15% of the appointment).
- Complete academic work leading to a PhD dissertation to be defended at the Faculty of Spatial Sciences at the University of Groningen, with the aim of obtaining a PhD.
