Housing, Care and Inheritance draws on the author's long-standing
research into housing issues surrounding the ageing society, a
phenomenon which is now a concern in many mature economies. If an
adult child provides care for their elderly parent, should that
person be rewarded? If so, should they inherit their parent's house
or a larger share of the assets? The 'generational contract' is
often influenced by cultural norms, family traditions, social
policy and housing market, so it is negotiated differently in
different societies and at different times. Such generational
contract is however breaking down as a result of socio-economic and
demographic changes. Drawn from the two-part study funded by the UK
Economic & Social Research Council, Misa Izuhara explores the
myth and the changing patterns of the particular exchange of
long-term care and housing assets between older parents and their
adult children in Britain and Japan. Highly international and
comparative in perspectives, this study addresses important
sociological as well as policy questions regarding
intergenerational relations involving housing wealth, long-term
care, and inheritance.
