Descripción del proyecto
Convivencia prolongada entre personas de mediana edad en Ámsterdam y Barcelona
La inestabilidad económica, los cambios demográficos y la disminución de opciones de vivienda asequible están llevando a muchos adultos a optar por la convivencia compartida. En el proyecto ROOMMATE, que cuenta con el apoyo de las acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, se investigará el fenómeno de compartir vivienda de forma prolongada e involuntaria entre personas de cuarenta años o más en el mercado de alquiler privado, con estudios de caso centrados en Ámsterdam y Barcelona. El equipo del proyecto concebirá un marco para analizar cómo el uso compartido de la vivienda afecta a la percepción del futuro, la decisión de tener hijos, las prácticas de cuidado y las desigualdades existentes. Sus hallazgos fundamentarán el desarrollo de soluciones innovadoras en materia de vivienda que respondan a las necesidades cambiantes de poblaciones diversas. En último término, se prevé mejorar la equidad y la sostenibilidad de la vivienda promoviendo innovaciones habitacionales satisfactorias.
Objetivo
ROOMMATE investigates the increasingly prevalent phenomenon of prolonged involuntary house sharing within the private rental market among individuals aged 40+, using Amsterdam and Barcelona as case studies. Economic instability, demographic changes, and a shrinking pool of affordable housing are pushing mature tenants into shared accommodations.This project addresses a critical gap in housing research by shifting the focus from young adults to older individuals, thereby offering new empirical insights into how age intersects with housing insecurity. By employing a comparative urban approach and qualitative research, the project integrates life course perspectives with intersectional analysis to investigate how lived experiences of extended house sharing reshape notions of future and progress, alter reproductive decisions and caregiving practices, and exacerbate intersectional inequalities. These unique empirical insights will be used to explore innovative housing solutions addressing evolving social needs over the life course. The project aims to 1) establish a research framework to analyse long-term housing precarity; 2) empirically explore the lived experiences of older house sharers; and 3) examine international housing innovations to co-develop policies that address evolving life-course needs and enhance housing security for diverse populations. ROOMMATE's findings are expected to contribute significantly to the development of innovative policies and housing solutions, addressing urgent social challenges in Europe, such as prolonged precarity, demographic ageing, and the care and climate crises. By disseminating successful experiences in housing innovations and developing policies that support housing as a social infrastructure for diverse family choices, household configurations, care needs, and environmental challenges, ROOMMATE will significantly impact housing research and policy, promoting transformative improvements in housing equity and sustainability.
