Overview

This project examines the extent of residential age mixing and how it is changing over time.

We use an innovative mixed methods design, using spatial and longitudinal data that is both quantitative (from Censuses and surveys) as well as qualitative (from interviews), to provide new knowledge on the patterns and processes of intergenerational mixing.

The project explores how intergenerational connection is experienced in the community at the local level, providing evidence to inform policies promoting intergenerational fairness, community cohesion and 'levelling up'.

This research project is led by Professor Nissa Finney.
