- 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

[ 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 ]
